Looking back at how the Indians fared in their recent County stints

Varun Aaron (Leicestershire)

Varun Aaron had a patchy stint with Leicestershire.

It’s been more than two and a half years since Varun Aaron played for India. The Jharkhand pacer last represented India in November 2015 in a Test match against South Africa in Bengaluru (where 4 days were washed out). He went to England and represented Leicestershire as a replacement for Pakistani pacer Mohammed Abbas (who was a key member of the Pakistan side in the Test series against England).

Aaron looked really good in patches and wasn’t consistent. He played a total of 9 games (3 first-class games and 6 One-Day games). He picked up 9 wickets in 3 first-class games and in one game he starred with the ball picking up 6 wickets (4/65 and 2/66) against Glamorgan helping Leicestershire register a narrow win.

In the Royal London One-Day Cup, he has taken 7 wickets in 6 games but has not taken part in the games since the start of June due to an injury. Hence, it was an indifferent stint for Aaron but this maiden County experience will only help him get better.
