During a short vacation to Dubai to visit my parents, I had the incredible opportunity to combine my trip with some cricket. What made it even more special was meeting Andrew Flintoff at The Sevens Stadium in Dubai, where I had a nets session with his son, Rocky Flintoff.

Rocky Flintoff, currently playing Under-19 cricket for England, gave me the chance to bowl for 1.5 hours in the nets. It was a fantastic experience, and it really helped me gauge my own standards as a cricketer.

Grateful for these kinds of opportunities that allow me to grow and learn more about the game.
