India and Pakistan will always be there but the match to look out for will be the IndiaAustralia one Aaron told ANIPakistans allrounder Shahid Afridi in his latest autobiography Game Changer slammed

off the field Knowing all the Pakistan players we are just like brothers from another country All of the guys speak to each other in Punjabi otherwise I dont see anything much serious in this issue Aaron saidAaron also believes that the Indian team has one of the best chances of winning the World Cup due to the balance the team possess He also opined that the teams players have experience in the overseas conditions and the teams bowling lineup is a very varied oneI feel we have one of the best chances of winning the World Cup with the side we have Weve got an unbelievable batting lineup and our bowlers have been great of late All the players have experience in the overseas conditions so I dont think anyone should have questions Our bowling lineup is a varied lineup You got Bhuvi who can swing the bowl Bumrah can bowl really at the front and in the death Shami bowls with great speed and I really hope they win the Cup back he saidThe 29yearold Aaron said the conditions in England for the upcoming World Cup will be quite flat and the bowler said the hosts England is one of the favourites for the World Cup He believes that the West Indies are going to be the dark horses in the World Cup due to the big hitters they have in their ranksThe English tracks are quite flat its just the atmosphere that helps the bowlers You are going to see big scoring games because of the small size of the grounds If theres cloud cover you may see swinging conditions for the bowlers Aaron told ANIEngland is a really good contender because they have a really good side You can never count out Australia because they have won so many World Cups For me the dark horse will be West Indies as they have Gayle back in the mix youve got Russell and any Windies bowler can be destructive on his day he addedAaron believes that having MS Dhoni in the team is a very good thing for captain Virat Kohli and Dhonis ability to manoeuvre bowlers from behind the stumps will hold the team in good stead in the World CupDhoni is the most accomplished captain that India has ever had I am glad that Virat has Dhoni in his ranks who can give him advice Dhoni marshalling the troops from behind will play a crucial role in the upcoming World Cup Aaron saidAaron hopes to make it to the Indian national team and said if he is able to bowl at his potential hes sure hell be able to stage a comeback in the teamI am very confident to play for the country I know I havent played for the last three years because of a few setbacks here and there I am coming back from a very good domestic season I am just trying to bowl at my potential and I know if I bowl at my potential Ill make a comeback into the team Aaron saidAaron is currently playing for the Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing Indian Premier League IPL and the teams hopes of making it to the playoffs hang by a thread The team needs to win their final match and then they need other results to go their way to progress to the playoffsRajasthan Royals changed their captaincy reins in the middle of the tournament Steve Smith replaced Ajinkya Rahane as the captain of the team Aaron believes that the captaincy change did not affect the side much and opined that players were highly motivated as they had to win every match in the tournament to stay alive for a possible shot at playoffsI wouldnt say there are too many changes nothing has changed much I would just say when Smith took over the captaincy we were in a position where we need to win almost every game The boys were that much motivated and there was a spirit in the team Smith is a great captain we have come up with great results I would say nothing has changed much it was a change in mindset knowing the situation we were in Aaron saidAaron has played 9 Tests and 9 ODIs for India in which he has taken 18 and 11 wickets respectivelyCatch up on all the latest T20 news and updates here Also download the new midday Android and iOS apps to get latest updates
