I am overwhelmed by the love and affection showered on me by the franchise and fans of Rajasthan Royals,&quot; Warne said.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;We have a strong, young and energetic bunch of boys and I am looking forward to work with them.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nRoyals also named former Mumbai batsman Zubin Barucha as their head of cricket.
