Darren Lehmann Cricket Academy
The Darren Lehmann Cricket Academy (DLCA) works closely with the English and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the South
Australian Cricket Association (SACA) to provide a Centre of Excellence for participants attending from all over the world. The
focus of the DLCA program is to provide a total life experience, not just a cricket one whilst looking at an individual’s future
within the game and provides guidance to improve and strive to achieve at your particular level.
Since opening in 2005, the DLCA has help to fast track the careers of players such as Monty Panesar, Phil Mustard, Ajmal
Shahzad, Samit Patel, Scott Borthwick, Joe Root, Alex Hales & James Hildreth to higher honours. The DLCA has had 12
players progress to International Cricket and 80 on to First Class Cricket. The DLCA has scholars sent from leading cricket
organisations such as the ECB (England & Wales Cricket Board), MCC, Sri Lanka Cricket, West Indies, & UK First Class
Counties.
The DLCA also offers winter specialist programs for cricketers wanting to develop their game during the off season and
opportunities to tour the world such as the touring the India. 9 players from tours have progressed into State underage
Representative teams from these tours.
Having hosted a successful tour to Sri Lanka in 2013, the DLCA believes it has the ability to bring out the best in a player by
giving them exposure to a High Performance program and experiences they would normally on have access to if they were in
a State or International representative team.
“The trip was a real eye opener and we had many interesting cultural experiences with food and the locals. There was
never a dull moment and all the boys, parents and coaches alike got on in a very positive manner. I will treasure these
memories as well as the friendships made on the trip for a long time yet”.
