In 2023, he made an exciting comeback to cricket as the head coach for the Northern Superchargers in The Hundred. However, due to what he felt was an undervalued pay offer — just “a quarter” of what other head coaches were making — he made the tough choice to step down. “It wasn’t about the money,” Freddie shared, “but I knew my worth and wanted to feel valued.” 💼💬
