Jeetan Patel
« on: August 29, 2016, 07:53:07 PM »
Is he a serious contender to play for England? He lasted played for New Zealand in January 2013, so therefore he can theoretically make his England debut just after the 2017/18 Ashes series. He would be 37 years old, but he's clearly a brilliant match winning spinner. And he could play for 2/3 years whilst one of the young bucks get established.

Patel's record for Warwickshire is awesome:

First Class: 297 wickets at 26. 15 fifers and 2 tenfers
List A: 90 wickets at 22. 5 fourfers and 1 fifer
T20: 93 wickets at 21

Stats speak for themself!

Age is against him I feel.

Do think NZ are missing something not having him in the side though, he's better than anything they have at the moment.

Is it his choice to not be in the side - or NZ's to not have him in there?

He opted to honour his Warwickshire contract a couple of years ago, instead of going on tour to India. Loyalty has paid off as WCCC looks after him well.

He has no interest in playing international cricket again.

Loyalty? To a County before your country. Idiot IMO. He would've had 5 or 6 good years playing international cricket.

Qualification for England is 7 years so he wouldn't qualify until 2020 by which time he'd be 40.

He gets paid more for WCCC than what the Kiwi board offered him.

So money? Good riddance to him. Let him play for England.

Chances are he'd have been picked up by NZ as an extra spinner for a tour of India, lose his Warwickshire contract, not get picked for NZ when they returned to non-subcontinental conditions and then struggle to get another county contract. Can't exactly blame him.

I'm pretty sure his kids wouldn't starve on his NZ contract...

He left in his prime so I think he should've had one more go at international cricket. Money is important though.

His international record is poor, but then so is the ability of jobbing English pros to play spin...

England may as well pick Gareth Batty.
