Arul Vivasvan Suppiah (born 30 August 1983) is a former English/Malaysian cricketer. A right-handed batsman and left-arm orthodox spin bowler, he has played for the Malaysia national cricket team since 1999, and county cricket in England for Somerset.
He is the youngest player to play for Malaysia, and has played for England at Under-14, Under-15, Under-16 and Under-18 level. He has also represented England Under-16s at hockey, and played badminton for his school. His elder brother Rohan also plays for Malaysia.
Born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Arul Suppiah moved to England to attend Millfield School and further his cricket career. He played for the school's cricket team between 1998 and 2001. He made his debut for Malaysia in August 1999 at the age of 15, becoming the youngest player to play for Malaysia. In the Saudara Cup match against Singapore, he took a hat-trick, the only time this has happened in the 37-year history of the fixture.
He next played for Malaysia in the 2000 ACC Trophy and in the 2001 Saudara Cup match, but commitments in England began to reduce his availability for Malaysia. He had made his debut for Somerset Second XI in 2000, and played for the first team for the first time in 2002, when he played against West Indies A, making his first-class debut. He played a County Championship match against Lancashire later in the year.
