Nathan Lyon on playing for Melbourne Renegades
Nathan Lyon looks forward to playing for a different Franchise, and the reason why he is so thrilled is because he has friends from Melbourne Renegades. “I’m absolutely thrilled to be part of the Melbourne Renegades,” Lyon said, as quoted by foxsports.com.au.
“(Marvel Stadium’s) a place where I enjoy bowling, it tends to spin a little bit. I’m looking forward to hopefully joining up with ‘Zamps’ in a really good partnership and putting a show on for the Renegades fans".
“I’ve got some really good friends who are part of the Melbourne Renegades, and that’s one of the reasons I wanted to come down. There’s a good group of senior players there who I’ve played a lot of cricket with internationally and also domestically, then you look at the younger guys throughout the roster – it’s a pretty powerful squad in my eyes.
Lyon further said: “I think we need to set the benchmark high, shoot for the finals and make sure we go and try to lift the trophy”.
