• "It is exciting. I mean I know a thing or two about the conditions in India and hope our team, especially the young members will benefit from it," Chappell told IANS in an interview.

    Dubai, Sep 23: Former Australian captain Greg Chappell is looking forward to playing an 'exciting' role for the benefit of his team during the four-match Test series against India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

     

    The former India coach is part of the Australian squad as an assistant coach and intends to use his vast Indian experience for the benefit of the Aussies, who are looking to defend the trophy in India.

    So what went wrong after that?
