LUCKNOW, Aug. 2 -- After playing for India in the 1998 Under-19 World Cup, all-rounder Arvind Solanki could play just two domestic matches in his two-year stint with the Uttar Pradesh team in 2001-02, but his ability as a complete cricketer was never doubted as he had some fine performances in junior cricket. Despite not getting adequate opportunity to play for Uttar Pradesh further, Solanki, a right-hand batter and a pacer, chose to give back to the game through coaching and his journey as a coach began thereafter at the Kanpur's Green Park Stadium. Almost after 27 years since his participation in the Junior World Cup, Solanki is all smiling once again as his first trainee Aman Chauhan, a right-hand batter from Kanpur, has made it to the India's Under-19 squad for the tour of Australia in September when the two teams will play three one dayers and two multi-day matches. "It's like a dream come true for me as since 1998's World Cup, I was dreaming of producing at least one player for India. It's really a very big occasion for me and I wish all the success to Aman, who has been an outstanding cricketer, and I know that it's just a beginning for him," said Arvind Solanki on Friday. "I have trained Aman for the past eight years, and we started from the Green Park Stadium before shifting my base to Christ Church Ground here in Kanpur. His best part is that he has been a well-disciplined kid who knows his job well," Solanki added. In fact, the selection for the India team came as a big surprise for young Aman, who got a phone call from a friend about his selection even though the BCCI had announced the team much before the phone call. "I didn't believe it immediately, but after some time I realised it was true," said Aman who applied for his passport on Friday. "I don't have a passport as I never required this before, but it's a must as I want to make full use of the opportunity on Australia tour as I am aiming for a place in the team for the next year's Under-19 World Cup in Zimbabwe," said Aman, who scored 137 runs in three matches at an average of 77.00 in the matches during his stay in the National Cricket Academy this year. "I think those knocks helped me get a place in the team for the Australia tour. My aim is to play for senior India in future as I like the longer version of the game," said Aman, the son of a cop with Uttar Pradesh Police. While playing for Uttar Pradesh in the Under-19 Cooch Behar Trophy in his maiden season last year, Aman was outstanding with the willow as he scored 578 runs in seven matches with 117 being his best at an average of 48.17. He also finished with two centuries and three half centuries. "It was my father who got me a bat and I started batting then. To be honest, I didn't know what I wanted to do in cricket in the beginning." About his batting temperament, Aman admitted that he doesn't lose his cool while batting and waits for the poor deliveries to score. "I practised how to play long innings. I keep waiting for the loose deliveries to score runs and my stint at the NCA helped me a lot in shaping my batting style well," he said. He also said that he has already started his homework for the Australia tour by talking to his seniors about the playing conditions there and even watching video footage of the Indian matches in Australia. "Arvind Sir has been a big help to me in my planning and I will never let him down as he has been a wonderful coach," said Aman, who failed to find a taker for him in the forthcoming UPTwenty20 League, starting August 17 here. "I did appear in trials for the UPT20 League, but couldn't get selected," said Aman, who was part of Uttar Pradesh's pre-season camp at Kanpur recently under the watchful guidance of former Team India cricketer and coach Gyanendra Pandey. "Aman has been a fine batter and he gave some solid performances during the 10-day camp last month and I pray for his success in Australia," said Pandey on Friday....
