John Buchanan's son, Michael, will join the Kolkata Knight Riders’s support staff in the Indian Premier League. Michael will be the strength trainer of the team and the New South Wales' coach Matthew Mott will be Buchanan’s assistant. Michael, a batting allrounder, was part of the Queensland's championship winning Ford Ranger Cup one-day team in 2007. The deal was finalised when Buchanan arrived for the team launch last month. The team and the support staff will be assembling on April 11 in Kolkata.
