10 stars who have faded away from Test cricket

England v India: 1st npower Test - Day Four
Abhinav Mukund never really managed to get going.

#5 Varun Aaron

Derbyshire v India - Tour Match
Varun Aaron has to ability to bowl above 140 kph.

Varun Aaron, the Indian speedster was one of India's top-ranked bowlers a few years back. Known for his ability to consistently bowl above 140 kph, cricketer pundits once lauded him as India's 'Brett Lee.'

Despite possessing these wonderful abilities, he lost his way in the Indian team after falling prey to regular injuries. His exaggerating style of bowling has had little or no impact due to lack of pace in the recent times.

The pacer has taken a total of 29 wickets from the 18 matches he has played for India at an economy of 5.69.

In spite of having an impressive county stint with Leicestershire, he was nowhere close in making it to the Indian squad for the tour of England as the selectors were wary of his injury-ridden career.

This shows the massive decline of Aaron as a bowler.
