Perfect rehab behind success: Aaron

Varun Aaron’s short career has been plagued by injuries but ‘having the right set of people around’ has been the reason for the Jharkhand speedster’s comeback to India’s ODI side for the upcoming tour of New Zealand. ‘I believe what helped me during these two years of rehabilitation was being around the right kind of people who would guide me in a correct manner. During the tough phases, you need these people around you which helps you in making a comeback,’ Aaron told rthe news agency over phone from Dhanbad, where he is playing a Ranji Trophy league match against Punjab. ‘I must thank the BCCI for being very supportive during my prolonged absence from the game, NCA where I did my rehab with BCCI physios and trainers. I owe a lot to the MRF Pace Foundation where I worked on my bowling and fitness and above everyone else, my family, who had supported me in this tough phase. It is indeed disappointing when one has to miss two years due to injury but I am relieved and happy to be back in the Indian team. For me there is nothing more important than to don that India jersey,’ the 24-year-old Jamshedpur boy, who has currently shifted base to Pune, added. Asked about how he got the news of his recall in the team, Aaron said that he was informed around tea-time.
