Insidious Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Pacer Varun Aaron eyes County stint Keen to follow in teammate Cheteshwar Pujara's footsteps, Indian pacer Varun Aaron has expressed a desire to play County cricket in the near future. Aaron, who impressed one and all by his consistent pace during the Test series, wants to improve his bowling skills and said that there is no better place than England to hone talent. "Playing county cricket is one of those things that is high on my priority list," Aaron was quoted as saying by 'Sky Sports'. Indian top-order batsman Cheteshwar Pujara signed up with Derbyshire on Saturday after the teams' 1-3 loss to the Alastair Cook-led side in the five-Test series. And it seems that Indian players, in a bid to improve their overseas performances, are looking for County stints."The cricket in England is very competitive because the conditions don't favour either the batsmen or bowlers too much," he said. Aaron showed promise by picking up three wickets in his first appearance at Old Trafford and famously broke Stuart Broad's nose with a bouncer that went through the helmet. Aaron also played in the two warm-up games against Derbyshire and Leicestershire and hopes to find space in his busy schedule to be a part of these clubs. "But if we have an early IPL next time, then I would definitely look forward to playing county cricket, at least for half a season," he said. "I think I've played enough in England - I've been here two months - so I have a decent understanding of English conditions. The right-armer, who made his Test debut in 2011, has battled several injury woes. The pacer ended the series with figures of five for 250 in two matches but now wants to play more cricket in England. "English conditions are quite testing for everybody involved in the game, for bowlers and batsmen. So I'm really looking forward to playing in England as it will help me develop as a cricketer," he said. http://ibnlive.in.com/news/cricketnext/pacer-varun-aaron-eyes-county-stint/494149-78.html VARUN :clap: way to go!

kosingh Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Now Aaron wants to learn how to play the seaming ball!
fineleg Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Umesh, Ishant and Ishwar Pandey should join County Teams too. Pinging bcci!
Vilander Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 last few teams in second division should have some places in reserves for top Indian talent surely, they can carry drinks there instead and get better at it.
TheWall Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Why r these players trumpeting about joining counties... Good if they join and gain some experience. Doesn any other country players go on broadcasting about their induction into counties....

Doesn any other country players go on broadcasting about their induction into counties.... To be fair, I am sure our "non dramatic", quiet and non sensationalizing Indian media has nothing to do with all the trumpeting.
Old guy Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Bigger thing is bcci has no problem any more and players can join :hmmm:
undisputed chap Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Lol he said he will play county IF IPL was preponed & IF he had the time. So basically IPL >> gaining experience & learning to play in different conditions.

So basically IPL >> gaining experience & learning to play in different conditions. What's problem with that ? He has to make money and ipl clearly has place in cricket even though I think quality is mediocre but he has every right to play there and perform And he will play county because there is competition and if board has started to allow it then many others will try to get place too
beetle Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 ^^^ ...How many people can honestly say no to crores of rupees as youngsters with uncertain future.IPL is the honest way to make a decent nest for these players.Why expect them to let go of it?None of us would do that.
Malcolm Merlyn Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Lol he said he will play county IF IPL was preponed & IF he had the time. So basically IPL >> gaining experience & learning to play in different conditions. Indian players cant skip IPL for another domestic tourney.The BCCI will never allow that.

Midfielder Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Pace bowlers should never play county. The toll on their body is too much.
