Heldreich had a breakthrough year with Northamptonshire in 2021, with three appearances in the Royal London Cup and five in the Vitality Blast.  

Taking eight wickets in his debut season, the 20-year-old impressed and will be looking to build on this start with more game time in 2022.  

Born in Ipswich in 2001, Heldreich is a young cricketer breaking through the ranks at Northamptonshire, particularly in white ball cricket.  

After spending the winter of 2020-21 at the Darren Lehmann Cricket Academy in Adelaide, Freddie made huge strides forward, leading to his T20 debut for the Steelbacks in June 2021.  

Adding his List A debut in July 2021, Heldreich built up some good experience and delivered consistent wickets with his unique left-arm wrist-spin.  

Having been described as a ‘little magician’ by Academy Director Kevin Innes, shows that there are high hopes for his 2022 season.
