Australian cricket great Nathan Lyon will be in Shepparton today (April 15) for a student leadership summit, junior cricket clinic, and evening forum for parents, players and local sporting clubs as part of his regional Victorian tour, Have You Got What It Takes, presented by Westpac.
Lyon said the idea for the regional tour came from a desire to give back to the game that had given him so much.
He said, “I was lucky enough to grow up in the regional town of Young, and play my first cricket there, so I know how important it is to bring sporting development opportunities to rural and regional locations and appreciate the passion is there for cricket.”
The sessions were held at the Quality Parklake and Mooroopna Recreation Reserve, with Lyon sharing cricket skills and leadership insights alongside leadership coach, David Stewart.
