Arul Suppiah moved from his native Kuala Lumpur to further his cricket and attend Millfield School. He was given his first-class debut for Somerset in 2002 and established himself as an opener, also providing useful left-arm spin which produced a record return of six for five in a Twenty20 at Glamorgan in 2011.
