Recurring injuries limited the pacer’s career, allowing him to play only 18 international matches, where he took 29 wickets. Despite these challenges, Aaron continued to stay active in cricket, regularly representing Jharkhand in domestic competitions and showcasing his skills at the local level.
Through a heartfelt Instagram post, Varun Aaron announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on Friday, January 10. He said:
For the past 20 years, I have lived, breathed, and thrived on the rush of bowling fast. Today, with immense gratitude, I officially announce my retirement from representative cricket.
Injuries prompted Varun Aaron to retire from red-ball cricket in February last year and now he has announced his retirement from all formats of the game.

Despite the challenges posed by injuries, Aaron’s commitment to cricket remained unwavering and his decision to step away marks the conclusion of a career that inspired many fans and players alike.
