At just 17 years of age Arjun Nair is making a big splash in the Australian domestic and youth international cricketing landscape.
In 2016 the year 12 student has skipped from the under-19 Australian side to NSW’s under-23s, then on to taking two wickets on the first day on debut for NSW in the Sheffield Shield .
In addition to impressing with ball in hand, Nair also has a recent century to his name, reaching 106 against Pakistan’s under-19 side in January.
Not surprisingly, cricketing greats such as Greg Chappell have said Nair’s is a name to remember.
“He started as a batsman and the bowling took over, now he’s picking up the batting again, which is good because it is important he offers something [more] than his bowling,” Chappell said.
