Former England fast bowler Frank Tyson said in Mumbai on Friday that the cricketing potential in India was immense and he was happy to come back on a 15-day coaching assignement to help Mumbai fast bowlers and coaches.

Speaking to PTI, Tyson, who was instrumental in helping former Indian bowlers like Abey Kuruvilla, Paras Mhambrey and Sairaj Bahutule under the MCA-Mafatlal Bowling Scheme in 1991, said he would concentrate on fast bowlers as there was very good talent in the country and the important thing was to tap it properly.

"I will focus mainly on the bowlers apart from spending about 15 hours with the Indian coaches. What I will be doing is to teach them (coaches) how to coach the ten best shots, different types of bowling and so on", he added. After his stint here, Tyson, who is 71, will leave for Pune to help the trainees at the Maharashtra Cricket Academy (MCA).
