Ravi Bopara
England and Essex All-Rounder.Aged 17, Ravi Bopara earned a professional contract with Essex in 2002, and he has never looked back. He made his first-team debut the same year, playing three Championship matches before playing for England at the Under-19 World Cup in 2003. A top-order batsman, he can also chip in with some handy medium-pace bowling and he has been maturing with every match.
Ravi, who is nicknamed Puppy, was a late selection for the England A squad in West Indies in 2006, after injuries in England's senior squad left spots to fill. He found form on the county scene and was subsequently rewarded with a place in England's preliminary squad for the 2006 Champions Trophy and the Academy squad to be based in Perth during the winter's Ashes series. After impressing the selectors, he made his ODI debut against Australia at Sydney, and claimed the wicket of Mike Hussey to help England kick-start their trophy-winning campaign with a 92-run win. A fortnight later in the World Cup, Ravi showed impressive resolve and class in his maiden one-day fifty against Sri Lanka. Another encouraging display for England in their one-day series against Sri Lanka in October led to his call-up to the Test squad for December's series, and he was picked to make his Test debut in the opening match at Kandy.
