Sandeep Patel is an exciting batting all-rounder playing for the Northern Knights in New Zealand domestic cricket.
A schoolboy prodigy, Patel has been a prolific performer through the age groups culminating with New Zealand Under-19, and Knights selection.
A top-order batter who bowls brisk medium-pace, Patel was selected for the 2018 ICC Under-19 World Cup after being named Northern Districts “Young Player of the Year” (2017/18).
Later that year he was picked to play for and scored 69 for New Zealand XI against the touring Sri Lankans. In November 2019, he represented the side again, this time against England scoring 56* against an attack featuring Woakes, Archer, Broad, Curran, Stokes, and Leach.
He has been a Northern Districts ‘A’ regular in recent years, but due to a squad that includes 10 Blackcaps, including the likes of Williamson, Mitchell, Santner, Wagner, Boult, and Southee, full Knights opportunities have been limited. That said, he has been named to play the Plunket Shield opener on 20/10/23 and Patel is hoping to impress in order to cement his spot throughout the summer.
At Premier club level over the past few seasons, playing for Manukau City in the Counter-Manukau Senior Competition, he has excelled hitting 484 runs at 53.77 alongside 29 wickets at 14.88 (2019/20), 586 runs at 41.86 and 25 wickets at 20.08 (2020/21), and 453 runs at 64.71 and 8 wickets at 40.38 (2021/22).
For his Minor Association, Counties-Manukau in the respective Brian Cunning Cup and Fergus Hickey Rosebowl competitions in 2021/22 he starred hitting 316 runs at 45.14 and 13 wickets at 13.54 for good measure.
Patel is an incredible talent who seems destined for regular Knights honours in future. For now, though, he is looking to embark on a UK or European stint abroad in 2024.
