Solanki was born in Udaipur, India, but moved to Britain with his family at the age of eight. He made his first-class debut for Worcestershire in 1995, although he had played one-day cricket for the county two seasons earlier. In 1996 he was awarded the NBC Denis Compton Award. In 1999 he achieved a batting average of over 40, something he repeated in 2000, 2002 and 2004. However, Solanki has not reached 1000 first-class runs in the English season since 2000, partly as a result of his England call-ups

One of the most elegant batsmen of his generation. 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 on 1st April 1976 in Udaipur, a city in Rajasthan, 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 in 2005.
