IPL 2022: I have devoted my life to bowling fast and can produce great results for Gujarat Titans for a Team India comeback, says Varun Aaron

Varun Aaron burst onto the scene, the Indian fast bowling resources were still scarce. Bowling in the high 140s and clocking more than 150 clicks frequently, Aaron formed a formidable pair with Umesh Yadav for India. But genuinely quick pacers are always troubled by injuries and Aaron was no different. Frequent injuries meant that Aaron could play only 9 Tests and 9 ODIs for India. Aaron last played for India in the 2nd Test against South Africa in Bengaluru in 2015. In the Indian Premier League, Aaron has played for Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Daredevils, Royal Challengers Bangalore, King XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals.

Joe Root's future as England captain in doubt after West Indies rout

Joe Root may be "passionate" about remaining as England's Test captain but should he stay in the post after the West Indies inflicted the latest damaging defeat of his tenure? In January, the 31-year-old star batsman insisted he wanted to begin the process of helping rebuild England's red-ball fortunes by continuing to lead the team in the Caribbean following their humiliating 4-0 Ashes series loss in Australia. But a thumping 10-wicket defeat in the third and final Test against the West Indies in Grenada on Sunday condemned England to a 1-0 series loss after two draws. Root has now overseen just one win in 17 Tests and has failed to lead England to a series victory in his last five attempts. Nevertheless, he insisted Sunday: "I am very passionate about taking this team forward. "I feel like the group are very much behind me. I know this is a results-based business but it does not feel like we are far away from turning results."

Women's World Cup: No clarity on Mithali Raj's future

Skipper says needs time before taking a callSkipper Mithali Raj and pace ace Jhulan Goswami's World Cup dreams ended in heartbreak on Sunday. While a three-wicket loss to South Africa in Christchurch brought the curtains down on India's campaign, Mithali was evasive about the road ahead for her. "It will not be appropriate for me to comment on anything, considering the sort of game that we just played, and the emotions are still there. So, it needs to settle down before I have a clarity on that and give an answer," she said.
