Patel was chosen as the only spinner in the 13-member team that was announced for New Zealand for the first Test that begins on Saturday at the Basin Reserve, reports Cricbuzz.
ANALYSIS
Patel, who picked up 13 wickets in three Tests against Pakistan in UAE recently, is the only spinner in New Zealand's 13-member squad, ahead of William Somerville and Ish Sodhi. The 30-year old made his debut in the recently-concluded series against Pakistan and impressed straightaway in his debut game, ending with a match-haul of 7 for 123. With the Basin Reserve, the venue for the first Test, likely to assist seamers, the Kiwi management went in with the India-born player, who is a proven match-winner in these conditions.
