Pollock with new role in IPL
"I still love the game and the pioneering aspect of a new team and a new concept is a challenge I'll enjoy," said Former South African captain Shaun Pollock.
"My role has evolved into that of an advisor and mentor after the management approached me with a flexible offer.
"I don't see myself as a coach.
"I just believe over the years I've experienced so many different approaches and methods in getting the best out of players and I think my role with the Mumbai Indians is an opportunity to pass on my skills and knowledge."
"Obviously we're aiming to win the tournament," Pollock added.
"We can improve on our performance last year and hopefully we can get the best out of our players.
"I believe the Mumbai Indians have the raw ingredients to be a highly successful franchise.
"The team is a very exciting mix of youth and experience.
"There are legends in the team - and we know what to expect from them - and on the other hand we have guys with huge potential.
"I think we've got a great balance to the team."
