FREDDIE FLINTOFF'S FIELD OF DREAMS SHELVED BY BBC AFTER THREE SERIES

Freddie Flintoff's Field Of Dreams won't be returning for a fourth outing on BBC One, the broadcaster has confirmed.

A BBC spokesperson said (via The Sun): "We are incredibly proud of Field Of Dreams and, while there are no current plans for it to return, we would like to thank Freddie, the producers and all the contributors for three fantastic series."

The third series, which aired last Autumn, saw sporting legend Freddie Flintoff taking on an even tougher challenge. Determined to prove that his previous success wasn’t a one off, having created a cricket team like no other in his hometown of Preston and taken them on a life changing tour to India, he's now set his sights on a much more ambitious plan.

Freddie wants to supersize the project right across the North West of England: He’ll attempt to form boys teams in Manchester and Liverpool while also attempting to create his first ever girls team in Blackpool at a club without any youth teams. Can he prove his blueprint for a league of dreams can work against a backdrop of a lack of funding, uninspired teens and derelict cricket clubs?

Joining Freddie in an extended coaching team is former Lancashire fast bowler Kyle Hogg and new recruit, current England Women’s international player Kate Cross.

Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams is available now on BBC iPlayer.
