Taylors Lakes has locked in some key pieces while having announced two new signings for the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association season.
The Lions are hoping to build on last season which started strongly before they faded away late to miss finals.
Peter Brasher will coach the side for a second straight season.
Skipper Steffan Roberts, Chali Chamoda , Lahiru Kumara·and Nilan Fernando have also re-signed keeping the core group together.
The Lions have managed to attract Shijit Chandran Poovathingal across from Hoppers Crossing to join their side.
The 37-year-old all rounder is a top order bat and right hand off spinner.
Chandran Poovathingal played a key role in Hoppers Crossing making the south-west grand final last season but didn’t play after round 12.
He averaged 30.47 with the bat and took 19 wickets across all formats.
Chandran Poovathingal said he was really impressed by how the club approached him and said they were clear about their vision and passion.
“Their strong commitment to winning the championship made it an easy decision for me to join.”
The Lions have welcomed back former junior Aidan Brasher to the club for next season.
Aidan, son of Peter, has been playing Victorian Premier Cricket with Footscray, including playing some first XI cricket alongside his brother, Dylan Brasher.
The 20-year-old is a bowling all rounder.
He played for Taylors Lakes in its T20 matches last season.
Aidan Brasher said he was looking forward to returning to his home club.
