Ahead of the 2022 Vitality Blast Finals Day, which is supporting the Professional Cricketers’ Trust, former Somerset all-rounder Arul Suppiah has bravely revealed his battle with anorexia.
Eating disorders steal childhoods, destroy relationships, and pull families apart and Suppiah has experienced first-hand the devastation the disease can cause.
The 38-year-old, who played 276 professional matches and once held the world record for best bowling figures in T20 cricket, was just 29 when chronic knee injuries forced him to retire, and he soon went into a second career of teaching accounting and business studies.
