text: Solanki made history against Australia in 2005 when he became the first supersub in a One Day International, replacing Simon Jones to strengthen England's tail after a batting collapse; coming to the crease at no.8 with England 93/6, Solanki made 53 not out. He also took part in the final two matches of England's time in the 2007 Twenty20 World Championship, replacing the injured Matt Prior. Keeping wicket and opening the batting in both of his matches in that tournament, he took two catches in the first, conceded no byes in either match, and scored 24 and 43. Those were his last international appearances.
  Coaching career
  In January 2018, Solanki was appointed as Deputy Head coach at Surrey CCC, and in June 2020 he was promoted as Head coach by Surrey's Director of Cricket, Alec Stewart, in succession to Michael di Venuto.
  In IPL 2019, he was a member of the Royal Challengers Bangalore's coaching staff, where he worked as an Assistant coach.
  In January 2022, Solanki ended his nine-year association with the Surrey CCC after being appointed as the Director of Cricket of the newly added IPL franchise Gujarat Titans ahead of the Mega Auction 2022.
