Vinay Kumar to replace injured Aaron for Australia test series

New Delhi: Vinay Kumar will travel to Australia after a back problem forced Varun Aaron out of reckoning for the highly anticipated series. This follows the ousting of Praveen Kumar from the squad because of injury. Youngster Aaron has got a 'stress reaction on the back' while playing in the ODI series against West Indies after making appearances in the first two matches.[caption id="attachment_152609" align="alignleft" width="380" caption="Vinay Kumar will want to make the best of this chance.

Even though his career is only 15 ODIs long, the pacer from Karnataka was playing as one of the senior bowlers in the ongoing series against the Windies. Aaron's start in Test cricket looked promising after he picked up three wickets in his debut match and this will come as a setback for him. Agencies
