Steven Croft is fully expecting exciting teenager Rocky Flintoff to be in the mix for first-team selection at Lancashire this summer after a frustrating, injury-hit 2025.

Flintoff, aged 17, has just signed a new two-year contract at Emirates Old Trafford, running through until the end of 2027 - announced this evening - alongside fellow up and comers Tom Aspinwall and Charlie Barnard.
