Grammar

Would also be keen to be back

Ajinkya Rahane, who has got the opportunity to cement his place in the ODI side in the absence of injured Shikhar Dhawan, squandered starts in both the games while opening alongside Rohit Sharma, who would also be keen to be back among the runs after a couple of failures.
I read the above excerpts on Rediff.com.
Please explain to me the use and grammar of " would" , "be" and "to be" in the phrase " who would also be keen to be back..." .
Thanks
