He also played for India Under-19 Team in 2003 that toured England, until he moved to the United States in 2010.

[edit]

Patel played 38 first-class matches, scoring a century and taking two five-wicket hauls for Gujarat cricket team in India's Ranji Trophy competition before leaving to Los Angeles in 2010.[1]

While playing for Gujarat. he was known more for his bowling then the batting. In 38 first-class matches he played took 72 wickets at rate of 38.88. He also scored 1000 runs for Gujarat with one century and 4 half centuries.[citation needed]

In June 2019, he was selected to play for the Brampton Wolves franchise team in the 2019 Global T20 Canada tournament.[2] However, in July 2019, Patel withdrew from the Global T20 Canada tournament, after signing a three-month central contract with USA Cricket.[3] In June 2021, he was selected to take part in the Minor League Cricket tournament in the United States following the players' draft.[4]
