'We'll be keeping Indian spice in the IPL'
Shane Warne, in the Times , writes of his experience with Rajasthan Royals in South Africa so far, and the interesting interactions he's had with some of the Indians in the squad.
Guys like KP and myself have been lucky enough to play cricket all over the world, but the younger Indian guys in our squad are finding South Africa a bit of a culture shock. They've certainly been dragged out of their comfort zones. Some of them hadn't stepped out of their own country before, let alone played overseas. Even the language can be a problem and at the moment they perhaps feel a bit out of place. They aren't always sure how to fill the time. The danger is that they sit in their rooms and just think cricket, cricket, cricket.
