But crew have been told that production has been postponed.

During filming for Top Gear in December Freddie suffered serious injuries.

He was flown to hospital after he flipped a three-wheel open-top Morgan Super 3 in subzero temperatures at Surrey’s Dunsfold Aerodrome.

He has since quit the motor show.

A source said: “Freddie loved Field Of Dreams and was looking forward to filming a second series, but it is unlikely to film any time soon and won’t make it to air this year. Crew are looking for other work — the whole show centres around Freddie.

“The Top Gear incident was very serious, he is convalescing.”

More than 3.3million tuned in to see the ex-England cricketer’s efforts at getting children from his home city Preston interested in the game.

Ashes legend Freddie, real name Andrew, was on a mission to convince them the sport is not solely played by posh people.

He formed a team of youngsters and took on an elite private school and veterans.

Spokesmen for Flintoff and the BBC both declined to comment.
