Cricket World Cup: Former India pacer Varun Aaron said the Under-19 cricketers should simply be themselves in preparation for the upcoming U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup in Zimbabwe and Namibia, adding that these years never come back in anyone’s life.

"Under-19 cricket is about expressing yourself. There is always pressure to perform at any level, even from Under-14s, but the coaches with this group just want the boys to play with freedom and show their natural game on the field. Those Under-19 years never come back, so this is the stage where they should simply be themselves," Aaron said on JioStar.

The India U19 men’s side are currently playing the second Youth ODI against South Africa at the Willowmoore Park in Benoni, after winning the opening game of the series by 25 runs (via DLS Method). The three-game series is a part of their preparation for the mega event commencing on January 15.
