Melton’s squad for the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association is starting to come together.
Having announced Damian Costigan as coach, the Lions have announced some key signings and re-signings.
Internationals Jack Dickson and Will Chesterman are coming out to play in Australia this summer.
“Jack the former Irish international representative is a top order bat who is known for his versatility and ability to hit 360 degrees,” the club said on social media.
“Currently playing List A cricket for Munster Reds in Ireland, Jack will add class and power to the top of our list for the upcoming season.
“Will is a classy top order bat currently starring for Yeovil Cricket Club averaging well over 40 his last three seasons.
‘Chesty’ will add plenty of talent and experience to the squad and is set for a big impact this year.”
Left arm quick Harsh Parmar has also joined the club.
Parmar has first XI playing experience with Port Melbourne and has spent the past two seasons with Sunshine Heights taking 40-plus wickets at an average of under 20.
Jason Hibbert also returns to the club having spent last season with Gellibrand.
He was part of the Victorian Turf Cricket Association division 4 premiership and was named in the team of the year after making more than 400 runs for the season.
The four will join a number of returning players.
Skipper Ben MacRae is back along with opening partner Brenton Cook, who will play for the Lions for a second season.
Stalwart Ben Jones is also back to lead the bowling attack.
