India v England: http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sreenath-Aravind-c2559 surprised at Indian berth – Cricket News Update
Sreenath Aravind, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) cricketer, was head over http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Aaron-Heal-c882 after hearing that his name has been included in the Indian outfit for the first two One-Day internationals against England, to be played on October
14 and 17 respectively.
India is going to host England for a five match ODI series and the squad for the rest of the three games will be announced later. The left-arm medium pacer admitted that he is a bit surprised to get an Indian berth as he was not
expecting it to come so early.
Aravind was sidelined from India Emerging Players tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 2011 due to a side strain. The 27-year-old pacer however, recovered from the injury before Indian Premier League (IPL) season four and bowled superbly for his
franchise, RCB.
Expressing his delight at the inclusion, Aravind said, “I am very happy. I wasn't expecting the call this year, especially after I missed the Emerging tour due to injury. After I recovered, I was hoping to do well this season and
was looking for a call next year. But I am very happy and surprised that the selectors have given me the opportunity this year itself.”
Aravind was the highest wicket-taker for Bangalore in IPL's fourth edition. The pacer notched 21 wickets from 13 matches at an average of 17.52, though an economy rate of 8 was a bit on the higher side.
The cricketer is hoping to go even better against the touring English side, which annihilated Team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 earlier this year. The 27-year-old believes that he is a much improved bowled than he was before and deems it is all because
of the pains he has put into his bowling.
“I am really looking forward to the challenge. I have been really working hard on my bowling ever since I recovered from the injury. I think I am a better bowler than what I was a couple of years back. I hope to get a match and
give my best,” said http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ashok-Aravind-c46347, who is eagerly waiting for a chance to prove his mettle.
