Indian Origin Aryaman Varma Wins Wisden Schools Cricketer Of The Year Award
Last Updated: Aryaman Varma was part of Dubai Capitals squad that won the ILT20 earlier this year and has been a net bowler for IPL franchise Delhi Capitals. Wisden announced its annual cricket awards recently for various categories and among the winners is an Indian origin cricketer Aryaman Varma, an 18-year-old legspinner. Varma won Wisden Schools Cricketer of the Year award for taking 51 wickets and scoring 300 runs while captaining Elton College in Berkshire (England). Overall, Varma is the 17th recipient of the award which counts among the winners Jonny Bairstow – the first ever winner of this award in 2008 – and Jos Buttler – the third winner in 2010. 'It's a massive deal winning this award," Varma told The Times of India. 'But the way I found out was kind of interesting. I had just finished a gym session. I checked my email and saw the brilliant news. I checked the email a couple of times just to make sure that I was reading it correctly before I started telling my family." Born in London, the 18-year-old Englishman's family hails from Delhi. He was bitten by the cricket bug during his early years which he spent in Mumbai. Earlier this year, ILT20 franchise Dubai Capitals roped in Varma as a partial replacement for Australian batter Jake Fraser-McGurk. He was part of their squad as they went on to win the title. Like Buttler and Bairstow, Varma dreams to represent England at the international level one day. 'The goal is one day to represent England internationally. I'm only 18 years old, so it's still too early to decide exactly where I'm going to go with my future in white-ball cricket or red-ball cricket," he said. Varma has also been associated with IPL franchise Delhi Capitals as their net bowler for the past three years. He's being mentored by DC left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav. 'Kuldeep bhai has given me just one piece of advice. He has told me that at my age, I should just play matches. He says the more match experience I have, the better I will become," he said.
