In the corner of a dusty cricket field, watching over the boys he's brought from Australia to train in tough, spinning Indian conditions, Jason Krejza seems at home in his new role as the coach. He is also way too cheerful to be labeled as one of the tragedies of Australian cricket: a spinner who could have calmed their nerves on treacherous tracks in this part of the world if it wasn't for the injuries.

"I love coming to India," says Krejza, who is in Mumbai on a coaching assignment for a tie-up between Mumbai-based Global Cricket School and Australia's Elite Cricket Academy, where he is the head coach. Krejza made his name in India, claiming eight wickets on his Test debut for Australia in Nagpur in 2008 and followed it up with a four-wicket haul in the second innings.
