Freddie Flintoff looks more like his old self a year to the day since his near-fatal Top Gear crash, as the England legend presents Adil Rashid with his 100th T20I cap in the West Indies.
Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff is getting set for his TV comeback as he films a new project this week - after a horror crash on Top Gear put him out of action for months.
Following the near-fatal crash, the BBC announced that it would pause Top Gear - and in November last year it was rested for the 'foreseeable future'. A source told The Sun of his return to filming: 'This will be a huge comfort to his fans because it shows he's healing well and returning to two of his greatest passions — sport and television.
The first Field of Dreams series featured him returning to his home city of Preston to recruit youngsters to the sport.The new images of Freddie were taken in Sri Lanka where he recently met members of the Lancashire Cricket Academy on tour. The open-top car has no airbags, and the cricketer was not wearing a helmet when the car flipped at around 22mph - meaning he 'scraped' his face along the tarmac in horrific scenes witnessed by the TV production crew.
Flintoff was photographed for the first time in public since the crash in September and had visible facial injuries as he joined up with the squad for their one-day international series against New Zealand.
