As a build up to the 2025 season, Lancashire Cricket Foundation are running a series of one-off Masterclasses, at various locations across the county. The Masterclasses are aimed at players, both boys & girls, in the following age groups - u9s to u14s & u15s to u18s and will have a focus on batting, bowling and wicket keeping.
The Masterclasses will look to introduce players to the ‘Lancashire Way’. A set of criteria that county players are judged against when focusing on their skill development.
Depending on availability, Lancashire’s men and women players (both past & present), along with current Thunder players, will be assisting with the delivery of the sessions to help share the knowledge they have gained, having been through various playing pathways themselves, during their careers.
All Masterclasses are £20 per session per person
