If it’s 14-yr-previous Vaibhav Suryavanshi who’s getting all of the limelight as a result of of his swashbuckling batting, the 17-yr-previous Rocky Flintoff, son of former England captain Andrew Flintoff, can be taking a large stride.Fresh from scoring a century within the Youth ODI against India U-19, Rocky has joined Northern Superchargers in The Hundred by the wildcard draft. Rocky had scored a 91-ball 107, after Suryavanshi’s 78-ball 143 blitz. Rocky, who has by no means performed knowledgeable T20 match, will be a part of the Superchargers, whose head coach is his father.Interestingly, the 17-yr-previous, the youngest within the wildcard draft, will probably be rubbing shoulders with England legend James Anderson, who has been chosen by Manchester Originals.Anderson, 42, has signed a one-yr deal to proceed playing for Lancashire and has impressed on this yr’s T20 Blast, his first T20 cricket in 11 years.This yr’s Hundred will start on August 5, with the ultimate at Lord’s on August 31.
