“I’ve got the incredible opportunity to present a Test cap today. It’s something that I do not take lightly,” Flintoff said.
“It is so nice that the family is here to show that as well because of being a parent myself and just how much you go through for your children. Driving them everywhere and taking them to places, but also the nerves of watching your kids play. Hopefully, you’re going to have a great week this week as you watch your son play for England.
“This cap represents so many things. Firstly, Test cricket. Josh, you are going to play a game now which is a game like no other. It tests your ability, character and personality.
“From what we have seen so far, you have those things in abundance. This is the perfect time to enter a team, everyone here in this group is willing you to succeed and when challenges occur, will stand right next to you and get you through.
“Every time you wear this cap, you’ll be filled with pride, and you’ll feel unstoppable. As an old fella, you’ll look back at this and say this is the best part of your life. Enjoy it and showcase everything that you’re about.”
