Today, we catch up with 2's promotion winning Captain, Aadil, a lifelong Frenford man and one of our senior captains, to talk big run chases, dressing room characters, and the undeniable perks of being the skipper when you're running late...

“Been associated with Frenford from when I can remember, whole family has played for Frenford , it was a no-brainer.”

Favourite Frenford cricketing moment?
