Varun Aaron Announces Retirement from Cricket

New Delhi: Tearaway quick Varun Aaron has announced his retirement from all forms of representative cricket through a social media post on Friday. Aaron, 35, had retired from red-ball cricket at the end of the 2023/24 domestic cricket season.

A product of the MRF pace academy, Aaron’s ability to bowl constantly at 150kmph took Indian cricket by storm, and paved the way for his international debut in 2011. Aaron went on to represent India in nine Tests and as many ODIs, claiming a total of 19 wickets. His final appearance for India came in 2015, in a Test match against South Africa in Bengaluru.

But his career was affected by stress fractures to his back and Aaron’s final cricketing assignment was through the 2024/25 Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he played four games and picked up three wickets for Jharkhand at an average of 53.33.

Aaron played nine seasons of the IPL from 2011 to 2022, and represented Delhi Daredevils, Punjab Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans. IANS
