Arul Suppiah granted a benefit year by Somerset
SOMERSET all-rounder Arul Suppiah, who made his first-class debut for the county in 2002, has been granted a benefit year in 2013.
The 29-year-old, who has scored more than 5,000 first-class runs for the county at an average of almost 34, has also proved a more than handy slow left-arm bowler.
