Remember Paul Valthaty? The Indian batter had burst onto the scene in IPL 2011 for Kings XI Punjab, most notably scoring a brilliant century against Chennai Super Kings in just the ninth match of the season. After that season, Valthaty quickly faded into obscurity, and last played in the IPL in 2013. However, Valthaty is now in the news, having taken up a new coaching role. But it's not in India, it's in the USA, the country that is seemingly making a rapid rise in international cricket.
