Sources have also confirmed that seamer Arshdeep Singh, who is yet to make his Test debut, has been ruled out of the Manchester Test due to a hand injury, sustained during training.

Former India Pacer Varun Aaron Joins Sunrisers Hyderabad As Bowling Coach
Varun Aaron played nine Tests and as many ODIs for India between 2011 and 2015. His last competitive match was a Vijay Hazare Trophy game for Jharkhand earlier this year. Sunrisers Hyderabad appointed former India pacer Varun Aaron as their bowling coach for the 2026 IPL season on Monday. Aaron will succeed former New Zealand left-arm quick James Franklin. 'A fiery addition to our coaching staff! Welcome Varun Aaron as our new bowling coach," SRH announced on their X account. A fiery addition to our coaching staff! Welcome Varun Aaron as our new bowling coach 🔥🧡 #PlayWithFire — SunRisers Hyderabad (@SunRisers) July 14, 2025 Aaron played nine Tests and as many ODIs for India between 2011 and 2015. Aaron's last competitive match was a Vijay Hazare Trophy game for Jharkhand against Goa in Jaipur on January 5 earlier this year. However, Aaron ended his playing career after Jharkhand failed to enter the knockout stages of the domestic 50-over competition. The 35-year-old burst onto the scene as a young tearaway capable of crossing the 150 kmph mark, earning him immediate attention from the selectors. In fact, the top brass at the time wanted to invest heavily in him and another emerging fast bowler, Umesh Yadav. While Umesh went on to play more than 50 Tests, Aaron soon largely became an onlooker due to frequent injuries. Sunrisers Hyderabad's Torrid Run In IPL 2025 Sunrisers Hyderabad endured a dismal IPL 2025 campaign, plagued by inconsistency, poor execution, and a heavy dependence on a misfiring top order. Despite a promising start, including a mammoth 286-run innings in their opening game, their form dipped sharply as the season progressed. The duo of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma struggled to replicate their 2024 heroics, offering little firepower when it mattered most. Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen, and Nitish Reddy also failed to provide the stability required in the middle order. The bowling department fell short as well. Injuries to key players like Adam Zampa and the off-form Mohammed Shami hurt their attack, while the spinners lacked bite on slower tracks. With tactical errors and underwhelming individual performances piling up, SRH finished sixth on the points table with 13 points in their kitty.

Playing in a home World Cup is every kid's dream: Abhishek Sharma
Chandigarh: From his India U-19 days to the T20I team, left-handed batter Abhishek Sharma has made an impact in the shortest format. The opener from Amritsar has risen playing for Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad. In his 17 T20Is, he has hit two centuries and fifties each and will be a contender for a place in the Indian side when they host the World Cup next year. In a chat, he talks about the year gone by. From his India U-19 days to the T20I team, left-handed batter Abhishek Sharma has made an impact in the shortest format. (AP) Excerpts: How have things change for you in the last one year, making the T20I debut and hitting 135 in your second game? A lot has happened very quickly. Making my India debut was emotional, but to follow it up with performances like the hundred (v Zimbabwe) and that England knock (135 in his last T20I in February), it is special. It has given me the belief that I belong at this level… It is motivating but also makes me want to work even harder. How has life and practice been after IPL? After IPL, the focus has been on recovery and sharpening small aspects of my game, especially my fitness and bowling. There is no off-season really at this level. You and Travis Head as SRH openers since last year seem to have shown that batting in IPL should be all out attack. We had a clear mindset; to attack from ball one, and SRH gave us that freedom. It was so enjoyable because we were backing each other. The way we played showed teams that fearless intent at the top can change games. Throw some light on how Brian Lara has influenced your batting. Do you keep in touch with him? Brian sir had a massive impact on my mindset. He taught me how to read situations, build innings. Just watching his calm demeanour and the way he spoke about the game changed my perspective. We do keep in touch. When a legend like that gives advice, you listen very carefully. With India, what do coach Gautam Gambhir and skipper Suryakumar Yadav tell you? They both ask me to 'back yourself'. GG bhai is very intense and tactical, he will give all the freedom you need. Surya bhai is chilled, encourages me to express myself. India hosts the 2026 T20 World Cup and you could be opening the innings… Playing a World Cup at home, and possibly opening for India, is every kid's dream. But I know it is a long road, and I need to keep performing… I want to be at my best when that time comes. You played junior cricket with Shubman Gill and he is now the Test captain… Shubman and I go back a long way, U-16, U-19, Punjab and India youth teams. I have seen his work ethic from up close. He has always been a step ahead. His journey inspires me to aim higher. Did you follow his 269 and 161 at Edgbaston and how India won under his leadership? I was glued to the TV. His 269 was phenomenal, he made it look so easy. I was cheering for that 300! The way he led with composure and confidence, that is the Shubman I know. It felt great to see him succeed. What contribution has Yuvraj Singh made in your career? Yuvi paaji is like an elder brother. He is brutally honest, which I love. He is one of the main reasons I started hitting the ball like I do. His mentorship changed my mindset. He wants me to be the best version of myself. We saw you bowl very little in the last IPL. How are you taking your left-arm spin? I did not bowl much in IPL because of the team combination and Impact Player rule, but I've always been confident about my bowling. I am working hard on it with my coaches. Having that extra skill adds balance to the team and I am ready to contribute with the ball whenever needed. I want to be a complete package.

Sunrisers Hyderabad rope in Varun Aaron as bowling coach for IPL 2026
Sunrisers Hyderabad have made a strategic addition to their backroom staff by appointing former India pacer Varun Aaron as their new bowling coach for the 2026 Indian Premier League season. The 35-year-old, known for his raw pace and aggression during his playing days, is set to guide the 2016 IPL champions' bowling unit as they look to rebuild after a mixed 2025 campaign. Aaron brings a wealth of experience from both domestic and international cricket and has played for multiple franchises in the IPL. The franchise announced the move on social media, calling it a 'fiery addition' to the support staff. His inclusion signals a fresh approach by SRH as they aim to find consistency with their bowling core heading into IPL Season 19. Transition from the pitch to the dugout Varun Aaron's coaching journey comes soon after his official retirement earlier this year. Having spent over a decade in the cricketing circuit, he was often hailed as one of India's rare genuine fast bowlers. A franchise insider shared that Aaron's energy and insight were exactly what SRH needed to inspire their young pace battery. His appointment also marks the end of James Franklin's stint as the bowling coach, with the former New Zealand pacer having taken over from Dale Steyn last season. A journeyman with pace and grit Aaron's IPL journey saw him represent teams like Delhi Daredevils, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings and, most recently, Gujarat Titans. He last featured in the 2022 season, where he picked up two wickets in as many appearances for Gujarat, who went on to clinch the title that year. Across 52 IPL games, he claimed 44 wickets at an average of 33.66. Pace legacy and future vision The Jharkhand speedster first made headlines during the 2010–11 Vijay Hazare Trophy final by clocking over 150 kmph. He later broke into the Indian national setup in 2011, featuring in nine Tests and nine ODIs. A source close to the player revealed that Aaron is excited about this new role and believes it's the perfect opportunity to give back to the game by nurturing India's next generation of pacers.
