Australian cricketer Ben Cutting's model girlfriend Erin Holland, who was recently named the anchor for next year's Indian Premier League (IPL), felt that the assignment will give her an opportunity to mix business and pleasure.

Cutting was retained by Mumbai Indians during the IPL auction held in Jaipur on Tuesday. Talking about her long-term relationship with the cricketer, Erin, who is a former Miss World Australia, told The Daily Telegraph: "Cricket has been in my blood thanks to my family since I was a little girl. My interest though has, of course, increased over the past four years or so [since I started dating Ben]."
