Robin has been associated with Mumbai Indians, IPL’s most successful side, CPL side Barbados Tridents and T10 franchises too. The 56-year-old has also conducted coaching clinics in the UAE.

Apart from franchise cricket, Robin has also coached USA and Hong Kong and is now in charge of cleaning up the mess left behind by the scandal which involved senior players and officials of the board.
