Varun Aaron delighted with Test come in

Varun Aaron said he was "emotion great" at result a berth in the 15-member Indian team for the first Test against the West Indies.

"I am feeling good," the rookie fast bowler said when asked how it feels like after learning that he was chosen in the team led by statemate Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

He accredited his father for breaking into the national team saying "my dad stimulated me to play cricket."

The 21-year-old pacer, however, decline to take any further question saying it was not allowed under BCCI rules.

Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA) president Amitabh Choudhary, the man who has seen Varun rising up from junior cricket, expressed gladness on Varun's selection.

"I am self-important to see Dhoni catapulting to Test cricket after establish him in the incomplete overs. Now Varun is selected for Test cricket close on the heal of his stupendous performance in the recently finished one-day series next to the England team," said Choudhary, who was manager during India's tour of Zimbabwe a few years ago.

Recalling Varun's head-line hogging 153.4 km/hour delivery during the Jharkhand/Gujarat Vijay Hazare medal final last year, Choudhary said there was no short cut for achievement and he should maintain constancy through a disciplined effort.

"Varun should stay focused and should try to become a winning bowler," he said and hoped Varun would bowl even faster against the West Indies.

Sehwag told: Rotate pacers to stay away from injury

Dashing India opener Virender Sehwag believes the only way to keep away from injuries is to rotate the fast bowlers by giving them regular break.

"It's significant that the team administration ensures that they don't play too many matches. Fast bowlers are prone to injury and when they get wounded their pace goes," Sehwag said.

"Besides, when you are wounded, your rejoinder becomes very hard," he added.

Sehwag, who is look forward to the series against West Indies after getting better from shoulder damage, said any decision to have different teams for Tests and the shorter versions of the game lies completely with the selectors.

"A cricketer's enthusiasm is to play for the country. If somebody says he's tired, he can talk to the team management. Dhoni was not given rest on his asking for, because there were too many injuries in the team," he said.

The 33-year-old said he was very aggravated when he got injured and admit that he made an error by playing in England when he had not fully improved.

"I knew I was desired. I tried my best but I realized that I hurried my comeback in England. It was a complicated time in England for the whole team... so many injuries," he said.

The Delhi Daredevils skipper also discarded the insight that Indian players prefer IPL over playing Test matches and said this whole club over country debate was preposterous.

"Tell me one cricketer who has said that. It's a insight that the media and ex-cricketers have. Every youngster dreams of playing Tests. There is not a single Indian or for that matter international cricketer who has taken departure from Tests and ODIs to play IPL," he said.

"I played the World Cup with injuries, Sachin played when he had a cracked toe or other injuries. People are not aware of this," he said.

Sehwag said no one will be able to replace Sachin Tendulkar.

"Nobody will ever play for as long as Sachin has however good quality he may be. There can never be another Sachin," he said.

Sehwag felt Indian cricket is in safe hands with so many youngsters playing well.

The Delhi cricketer singled out Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma as the players who will carry Indian cricket forward.

"When the seniors retire, I have full faith in these gifted youngsters taking their place. There may be a problem for a year or two, but Indian cricket is in safe hands."
