After Flintoff’s admission, a narrator says: “This is the story of the most unlikely cricket tour that almost didn’t happen.”
Field Of Dreams On Tour follows on from the first series in 2022 in which Flintoff moulded a group of unlikely teenagers from his hometown of Preston, Lancashire, into a cricket team. This time they are to tour India.
In November, the BBC announced that Top Gear would be rested for the “foreseeable future” following Flintoff’s accident.
The former England cricket captain received a financial settlement from the corporation.
Flintoff started presenting Top Gear in 2019 and has also appeared on Sky’s A League Of Their Own, and won the first series of the Australian version of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
Field Of Dreams On Tour is coming this summer to BBC iPlayer and BBC One.
