Varsani was born at Bhuj in the Indian state of Gujarat in June 1988. He emigrated to Kenya and later made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Kenya against the United Arab Emirates in the 2011–2013 ICC Intercontinental Cup at Nairobi in July 2011.[1] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 7 runs in the Kenyan first innings by Mohammad Tauqir, while in their second innings he was dismissed without scoring by Shoaib Sarwar.[2] Three days prior to this match, he made what would be his only appearance in List A cricket against the same opposition,[3] keeping wicket he scored 10 runs before being dismissed by Arshad Ali.[4] In the second match of the one-day series he was replaced as wicket-keeper by Rajesh Varsani.
