Profile

He bowls with his left hand, and throws with his right. Yep, in the truest sense, Samit Patel is the true-blue cricketing all-rounder.

Another one of our multiple trophy winners, he has been trotting the globe and plying his trade in franchise cricket for nearly a decade now. Patel is one of those high utility players going around, who bats in the lower middle-order and has the shots, the temperament and the experience to finish games, and then also doubles up as a wily left-arm spinner. Having represented England in all three formats since his debut in 2008, he has moulded himself into a specialist T20 player over the last few years. And very successfully too!
