His name[edit]

Rather oddly, CricketArchive gives his name as Guramar Singh Virdi. There's do doubt that it's the same player, as he has the correct dob and is shown on the scorecard for today's Surrey match v Essex. I wonder if "Amar" could be a nickname? JH (talk page) 20:32, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks JH - one to watch. These sources use the current name [1] and [2], but if anything changes, drop a note here and I'll spot it. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 10:05, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've now checked in my copy of the 2017 Playfair Cricket Annual, which I should have thought of doing originally. It has him as: Virdi, Guramar Singh ('Amar'). So that seems fairly definitive. It also gives his place of birth as Chiswick. I'll change the article accordingly. JH (talk page) 20:01, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've now looked in the 2017 Wisden, having remembered that Virdi played in the U19 series against Sri Lanka. Wisden has him as GS Virdi. JH (talk page) 07:00, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
