Brisbane Heat can't find West Indian bowler Kemar Roach until they find him in Papua New Guinea Brisbane Heat's Kemar Roach was tracked down doing a cricket development clinic in PNG. THE Brisbane Heats Calypso strike bowler Kemar Roach has become an international man of mystery all over again. Last summer, the "Roach Bomb"" was literally lost in transit when he became stuck in China without much of a trace on the way to Australia for the Twenty20 Big Bash tournament. This time, only days out from the Heat jetting out to India for the lucrative global Champions League tournament, the Brisbane franchise had to scour the globe for Roach before he turned up unexpectedly in Papua New Guinea. Heat officials had been set to book Roach on a flight from Barbados to Ranchi, where the Brisbane franchise will play their first Champions League game against Trinidad and Tobago on September 22. But the best-laid booking plans had to be adjusted when Roach's manager alerted the Heat that the fast bowler was in PNG on a cricket development mission. Roach had linked with West Indies ODI captain Dwayne Bravo and former captain Richie Richardson to help groom cricketers in PNG through coaching clinics. Other Heat players have had a similarly interesting lead-up for the lucrative Twenty20 event. Left-arm spinner Brad Ipson was in Brazil when he was a late call-up for the Heat's Indian mission after Alex Kemp injured his hamstring. Batsman Dom Michael has been playing in the Netherlands and in English second XI cricket, about as far as you can get from the conditions the Heat will encounter in India. The Heat will face an uphill battle to qualify for the Champions League finals considering they will be without big-name players Shane Watson and Mitchell Johnson, who are playing for other Champions League teams, and with Ryan Harris injured and Luke Pomersbach missing for personal reasons. There is a huge incentive for the Heat, aside from the $500,000 participation fee and the extra guaranteed $200,000 even if they do not win a game. The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is enormous, a $2.5 million payday for the winning team. Cricket writer Ben Dorries will be travelling to India to cover the Brisbane Heat's Champions League campaign for The Courier-Mail.
