MUMBAI (Reuters) - Former Australia paceman Glenn McGrath will help groom the next generation of Indian pace bowlers after the Chennai-based pace foundation he heads signed a five-year deal with the Indian cricket board on Tuesday.

Under the agreement, McGrath, who took 563 wickets in tests and 381 in one-dayers, will train India's current and upcoming fast bowlers at the MRF Pace Foundation during his visits to the country.
