Mervyn King - Governor Bank of England
Vikram Solanki is one of those rare cricketers who win in style. Since Vikram became captain, Worcestershire have regained the habit of winning and Vikram has thrived on the responsibility.
Ian Botham - Former England Test Cricketer
I'm absolutely delighted to have been asked to be the patron of Vikram Solanki's benefit year because to my mind there is no more deserving player in the game than this talented batsman.
Lord Bilimoria of Chelsea, CBE DL
I have been passionate about cricket from the early days of my childhood, so it was a great pleasure for me to meet Vikram a few years ago at Lord's.
