Former Mumbai pacer Saurabh Netravalkar, 26, left Mumbai's cricketing shores in 2013 to pursue further studies in the United States of America. Two years later, he made a comeback to the game, playing tournaments on weekends in San Francisco and Los Angeles, juggling his schedule as a software engineer. His effort bore fruit as the left-arm pacer got picked into the US national cricket team a few months ago, and more recently, for the Caribbean Premier League.

Netravalkar, who represented India in the 2010 U-19 World Cup in New Zealand alongside KL Rahul, is thrilled to share the dugout with the likes of former Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik as part of CPL's Guyana Amazon Warriors. "I am so excited to bowl to star batsmen like Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo. I am looking forward to the challenge," Netravalkar told mid-day from Guyana recently.
