Varun Aaron looks to keep it short

Aaron continued to take breaks as the day wore on,but his selection as replacement for Ishant Sharma for the ODI series in England didnt mean being relieved of his duties. Like any parent whose kid gets picked to represent the country,they were elated and were beaming with pride. I was excited too. I actually have no words to describe the feeling at that moment,not mine or my parents for that matter, says Indias latest pace sensation,who now awaits his UK visa.

Fresh from an impressive outing in the Emerging Players tournament,Aaron,considered the fastest bowler in India,will join Munaf Patel,Praveen Kumar and RP Singh as part of a battle-ridden Indian pace attack. But the youngster,whose fastest delivery has been a 153kph thunderbolt,has never bowled in English conditions before.

I have gone to England but that was for a few biomechanics tests. I bowled a few overs at the indoor facility then. But this will be my maiden experience of bowling in England. Considering that Im going in for the ODIs,I will be focussing on mainly sticking to bowling back of length, he says.
