Once considered India's fastest bowler, Aaron made his international debut in the home ODI series against England in 2011 and his Test debut in 2014 against West Indies. However, multiple injuries had seen him fall down the pecking order in the national set up.
The tearaway fast bowler made his debut for Jharkhand's senior team in 2008-09 Ranji Trophy season against Jammu and Kashmir and played 39 first-class matches claiming 114 wickets at an average of 28.3.
Aaron also played 53 List-A games and 36 T20s and claimed 131 wickets with the white-ball.
