I think its something to do with, your appearance number i.e. your the 654th player to play for the test team! I could be wrong

In 1877 England adopted a scheme of giving each player a cap number. So when each player receives their first cap they are assigned a number, that started with 1, a T Armitage. Some interesting names and numbers: 13 Lord Harris; 18 Reverend Royle; the legendary Dr W.G. Grace was 24; 25 the honourable A. Lyttleton; 96 The 7th Lord Hawk; 230 Lieutenant-Colonel RT Stanyforth and another legend Fred Trueman at 369. More recent big names include 422 Geoffrey Boycott; 477 Mike Gatting; 474 Ian Botham; 494 Allan Lamb; 538 Michael Atherton; 542 Nasser Hussain; 543 Alec Stewart; 568 Darren Gough; 591 Andrew Flintoff; 600 Michael Vaughan, the current captain; acting captain Andrew Strauss is 624 and the most recently capped player, Jon Lewis is 634
