On March 12, 2009, Callum Flynn was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer in his right knee. It was supposed to be a day of happiness, his 14th birthday. At the time, it would have been anything but. Now, though, thankfully, he can look back with a positive outlook and the view that, ‘Everything happens for a reason’.
Fast-forward a little over 17 years and Flynn is enjoying the game of cricket as much as that talented teenager ever did. Complete with a titanium knee replacement, he has played Disability Cricket for Lancashire and has been representing England since the summer of 2011. He has been captaining his country since late 2019; first the Physical Disability side and, more recently, the Mixed Disability team. He is also a World Cup winner.
