A promising young cricketer who was talent-spotted by Freddie Flintoff has won a prestigious Fostering Excellence Award.
Adnan, now 17, captured millions of hearts when he was featured in Freddie's Field of Dreams documentary, which was filmed for the BBC in Preston in July 2022. While Freddie tried to turn an unlikely group of teenagers into a cricket team, his attention was drawn to Adnan, who is a refugee from Afghanistan. He was so awed by his skill that he appealed for asylum from the government for Adnan, which was granted.
' Adnan, who competes in Lancashire’s under-18s cricket team, was awarded the Fostering Excellence Award, to recognise his outstanding achievements while living in foster care. He was given the accolade at The Fostering Network’s Fostering Excellence Awards in Birmingham on Tuesday, October 17. He has been living with his foster carers Elaine and Barry, who foster with Lancashire County Council, from March 2021, after arriving in the UK as an unaccompanied asylum seeker.
