"I am very proud of be­ing the first West In­di­an to coach at the IPL and al­so to be a spin­ner and get a job as a spin bowl­ing coach in In­dia is al­so big to me.

"I in­tend to do the best that I can do to lift the fran­chise and I am keen to see how this tran­si­tion from play­er to coach works out. I have nev­er coached at a high lev­el here in the Caribbean so I am look­ing for­ward to learn­ing a lot and con­tribut­ing a lot to the Del­hi set up.
