Flintoff was seriously injured in a car crash at the Top Gear test track in December 2022 while filming the now-canceled car show.

But after recovering from the ‘life-changing’ injuries he suffered, the 46-year-old is back to work for the BBC.

Flintoff appears to be filming the second season of his hit show “Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams,” in which he tries to get kids involved in cricket.

The star posed for a photo with young cricketer Subhajit Naskar at the Cricket Association of Bengal. In the second season, his show focused on cricket in India.

While other pictures showed the retired England all-rounder being presented with a jersey of Indian Premier League team Kolkata Knight Riders by Bengal cricket president Snehasish Ganguly.

The second season of Flintoff’s show comes after he… MEGA a seven-figure deal with the BBC last year.

A TV insider told The Sun that the star’s return to the screen is a hugely positive step after the harrowing crash.

They said: “This will be a huge comfort to his fans as it shows he is making a good recovery and returning to two of his greatest passions: sport and television.

Horror crash by Freddie Flintoff

FORMER England cricket captain Freddie, 46, was rushed to hospital after the 120mph crash at the Top Gear test track in December 2022.

He was injured in an accident at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey.

Freddie suffered several broken ribs and serious facial injuries that left scars on his face.

Filming for the show, which Flintoff co-hosts with Paddy McGuinness and motoring journalist Chris Harris, has been halted since the horror crash.

Following the crash, the BBC announced at the time that continuing filming would be “inappropriate”, adding that a health and safety review would take place.

It was not his first accident, having previously lost control of a motorized tricycle at 120mph in a race against co-hosts Chris Harris and Paddy McGuinness.

Freddie had to wait 45 minutes for an air ambulance.

But judging by the most recent photos, his scars have healed extremely well.

‘Obviously there are some scars, which everyone expected, but Freddie seems to have made huge progress since he last played cricket in public.

“He clearly feels comfortable enough to be in front of the camera again, which was not the case this time last year.

“These are nervous first steps because he is recovering both mentally and physically, but the TV program he is making is a real passion project for him.”

The first season of Flintoff’s show saw him return to his hometown of Preston to get young people involved in the game that made him an international superstar.

And fans are eagerly awaiting the second season of the series, which will now take Flintoff to cricket-mad India.
