Notes : NBC Denis Compton Award 1996
One of the most elegant batsmen of his generation,
and a hobby horse of Ian Botham's in his regular commentary-box
tirades, Vikram Solanki flirted with the England one-day side in
South Africa in 1999-2000, before slipping out of the picture until
after the 2003 World Cup. Born in Udaipur, India, but raised in
Wolverhampton, Solanki made his debut for Worcestershire as a
16-year-old and instantly caught the eye with his wristy driving and
effortless flicks. Test recognition seemed only a matter of time as
he worked his way through the various representative levels and onto
two England A tours, but he was a disappointment in his first eight
ODIs, with a top score of 24 and a rash of lapses in his usually
silken fielding. But he has continued to score heavily for
Worcestershire, and after the retirement of several senior players
in 2003 he was recalled at the age of 26. He started gloriously with
a sparkling century against South Africa at The Oval, flirted with
oblivion while mustering 11 runs in three outings against
Bangladesh, but was recalled to the squad for England's Champions
Trophy campaign at the end of the 2004 season. And after a decade at
New Road, he was appointed Worcestershire's captain for 2005
