Indian money man backs Warriors

New Delhi: An Indian industrialist whose money helped bring Tom Moody to the WACA as coach will now send the team away to India to compete in the Champions League bearing his name - the Rambal Warriors, according to a report published in Sydney Morning Herald.

Vikas Rambal, who made a massive fortune with his involvement in the Burrup fertiliser project, entered into the sporting sponsorship world when he agreed a landmark agreement last year to financially secure Moody as his personal sponsor.

That agreement is believed to be doubling Moody's income while in WA, but Rambal would not reveal how much he had paid to have his family's name attached to the team during the Champions League.

But Moody said the agreement would allow his team to travel to India for the tournament in the same manner as an international team embarking on a tour, with the possibility of a $3 million winner's purse.
