Kamran Khan is the new-young pacer of Rajasthan Royals

The Rajasthan Royals is the champions of the inaugural Indian Premier League (DLF IPL T20). In this team there many experienced players from different countries of the world who have played a lot of International crickets too. It is the only club, which is leaded by the foreign captain-coach, Australian Leg-spinner Shane Warne, and some quality bowlers Shaun Tait, Indian Munaf Patel, South African Morne Morkel are leading the team. Recently, the team has been highlighted by the media about recruitment of a young new bowler Kamran Khan who is just 18. 

His coach, Naushan Khan, told Cricinfo that his ward, who joined him five years ago, was a complete novice when he came to Mumbai from his hometown, Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh. "He was very raw when he first met me, and most of his experience was, and remains, with a tennis ball," said Naushan. "We have worked on his action and tried to develop him into a proper pace bowler. Kamran's work will hopefully start to yield results. I don't think it has really hit Kamran yet that he will be in the same squad as so many big players.

"We entered him into the Mumbai Police squad for a Twenty20 tournament at the DY Patil Stadium recently, and he impressed plenty there. Darren Berry happened to be there and he was impressed with Kamran."

Darren Berry, Rajasthan Royals director of coaching, was impressed with the performances of the new young inexperienced pacer Kamran Khan and that is why he has got the opportunity playing with such big bowlers. So the Rajasthan Royals fans have to wait for the second season of Indian Premier League that will be outset on April 2009.
