Young excited for career 'rebirth' in USA

American fielding coach Mike Young, who has been employed in Australia on and off since 2002, says he is eager to start working with players in the USA as he comes back to America later this month ahead of the ICC Americas Combine in Indianapolis in September. Following the announcement of his involvement in the combine, Young said he believes fate has taken his career a full circle to bring him back home.

"I believe that my background in the sport and in baseball, but obviously in cricket, I believe this is what I was meant to do and things happen for a reason," Young told ESPNcricinfo. "The combine is a start. I think we're on a great track right now with the ICC. This combine is a good start and will pull some people together. I've worked with Courtney Walsh before and he's a great guy. Obviously he was a fantastic bowler and knows the game. What [ICC's] Tom Evans and Tim Anderson are doing, they have to be highly complimented for their passion in trying to get this thing kicked off. That inspires me so I'm going in and the combine for me is just a start. To me it's a rebirth for me and my coaching career."
