New Zealand’s Ajaz Patel auctions 10-wicket haul shirt for hospital | Cricket News – Times of India

WELLINGTON: New Zealand's Ajaz Patel is auctioning the shirt he wore to claim all 10 wickets in a Mumbai Test in December to raise money for a hospital in Auckland, the 33-year-old left-arm spinner said. Patel became only the third bowler -- after fellow spinners Jim Laker of England and India's Anil Kumble - to claim all 10 wickets in an innings of a Test match against India at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. The auction attempts to raise money for a play therapist for the Starship Radiology Department at New Zealand's national children's hospital, Patel said. "...while it was a special day for me, what they do to help kids and their families is even more significant and I hope the auction on @trademe can raise as many funds as possible for them," Patel said in an Instagram post.

New Zealand pick Ajaz Patel in 20-man squad for England tour

Spinner Ajaz Patel, who is one of only three players to have taken 10 wickets in a test innings, will return to the New Zealand cricket squad for its three-test tour to England next month. Patel joined Jim Laker of England and Anil Kumble of India in an elite club when he took 10-119 in New Zealand’s second test against India in Mumbai last December. The left-armer hasn’t played a test since. He was left out of home series against Bangladesh and South Africa when New Zealand opted for all-pace attacks. Patel returns as New Zealand’s front-line spinner for the England series. New Zealand on Wednesday announced an extended 20-man squad for the tour, designed to cover the early absence of players involved in the Indian Premier League. Those players will miss New Zealand’s warm-up matches a...

New Zealand plan perfect Ross Taylor farewell against Bangladesh

New Zealand plan to give retiring Ross Taylor the perfect send off when they face Bangladesh in a two-test series beginning in Mount Maunganui on Saturday, with the tourists’ hopes of playing party poopers dimmed by the absence of talismanic all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan. World test champions New Zealand are without regular skipper Kane Williamson, who has been sidelined by a nagging elbow injury which flared up during their 1-0 series loss in India earlier this month. Stand-in skipper Tom Latham, however, will welcome back fast bowlers Trent Boult and Neil Wagner as the home side aim to rattle Bangladesh with pace.New Zealand have dropped Ajaz Patel barely three weeks after the left-arm spinner bagged all 10 India wickets in Mumbai, keeping all-rounder Rachin Ravindra as the...

Yearender 2021: Ajaz and Axar make it year of the Patel wrap

The Pandemic year locked them in quarantines but athletes around the world found resilience to call time on people-pleasing and discovered their moral voice to say NO. Gymnast Simone Biles, tennis star Naomi Osaka and Virat Kohli spoke their minds and defied convention. The year also saw athletes discover the full potential of social media – not just the big names but even the hitherto unknowns from small towns became stars in their own right. There were also some breakthrough performances that will stand the test of time. The hockey captain who reawakened a country’s nostalgic pride, a Mumbai-born New Zealand cricket returned to his roots to create history, a badminton star who finally learnt how to marry art with commerce, and the man who launched his gold-plated javelin ...

New Zealand drop history man Ajaz Patel for Bangladesh Test series | Cricket News – Times of India

WELLINGTON: Spinner Ajaz Patel has been left out of the New Zealand squad for the series against Bangladesh less than three weeks after becoming only the third bowler to pick up all 10 wickets in an innings of international cricket. The 33-year-old achieved the rare feat in the second Test against India in Mumbai earlier this month but was deemed surplus to requirements for next month's matches on the greener surfaces of Mount Maunganui and Christchurch.

"However, we've always applied a horses-for-courses selection policy and believe the players selected best fit the way we want to take on Bangladesh here at home."

Ajaz Patel: ‘My Perfect 10 came after a lot of dramatic changes in my life and hard work’

The ace cricketer talks about transitioning, first as a child moving to New Zealand and then rising up the ranks in the game while battling racism. Still true to his origins, he feels politics is a different game but sport has glued differences and encouraged diversity. The session was moderated by Senior Editor Nihal Koshie. Nihal Koshie: Have things changed after your historic feat of getting all 10 wickets in an innings? Not much. We are still working hard and looking at the next series against Bangladesh, and waiting, as always, for news on selection. I guess the market for cricket is smaller in New Zealand than India, which has a billion people with a lot of them crazy about the game. In New Zealand, with four million people, it doesn’t make that kind of an impact. Besides I am sti...

New Zealand left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel considers himself “fortunate” to be just the third Test cricketer ever with 10 wickets in an innings as all he tried doing in that magical performance against India was putting the ball in the right areas for a long period of time.
