Freddie Flintoff is going to be back on our TV screens this summer, and it won't be a long wait either.
The cricket star is going to be bringing back his Field of Dreams series where he put together a cricket team in his hometown of Preston, only this time the show is Field of Dreams On Tour and they're headed for India.
However, a trailer for the upcoming show indicates that Flintoff is going to speak out on the horrific crash he suffered, while filming an episode of Top Gear, which resulted in the show being parked.
Top Gear was a show known for putting the presenters through a series of stunts in which they were occasionally injured, and in some notable cases, came close to death.

Richard Hammond's crash while driving a jet-powered car in 2006 is likely the most life-threatening incident that has occurred in the history of the show, though Flintoff's own experience was also incredibly serious.
Flintoff suffered serious injuries in December 2022 at Dunsfold Aerodrome when the Morgan 3 he was driving flipped over.
The former cricketer turned presenter was rushed to hospital via air ambulance and the BBC said they had decided to 'rest' Top Gear for the foreseeable future.
Flintoff has appeared publicly since then, though he has not spoken about the horrific crash he endured.
It seems as though he will do in Field of Dreams On Tour as the trailer for the show builds up the trip to India before coming back to Freddie.
"But something happened which changed my life forever," Flintoff says in the trailer and it seems as though he's going to speak about the Top Gear crash.
The trailer then calls the show 'the story of the most unlikely cricket tour that almost didn't happen'.
Whatever further words Flintoff has on the crash will be contained within Field of Dreams On Tour, so you'll have to watch the show to learn more about what he's going to say.
The cricketer has also helped the England team since the crash, having presented Tom Hartley with his first cap and spoken about what it means to be part of the team.
Before the crash, Flintoff had spoken about having to sign a 'death waiver' for Top Gear when asked about it on The Graham Norton Show.
Former Top Gear presenter James May had said that Flintoff was 'extremely unlucky', and last year wished him all the best fortune in his recovery.
