Venkatesh Prasad, the former India fast bowler, has been given a role with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) to help promote cricket in the region.
Prasad will travel to lesser-known cricket-playing countries in Asia to identify and groom young talent.
"I have to create proper infrastructure by guiding the local associations," Prasad told the Hindu. "It means I have to spot talent and also ensure they have a proper coaching staff to carry on the grooming process."
Prasad, who started coaching after retiring in 2004, has coached the India Under-17 team, the Karnataka Ranji team and was the bowling coach of the national side for two years. He is currently the bowling coach with the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League.
He will travel to Malaysia on December 1 to begin his ACC assignment.
