Samit Rohit Patel (born 30 November 1984 in Leicester) is a English cricketer who plays first-class cricket for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. He made his One Day International debut for England in August 2008.

Early life

Patel was educated at Eastwood Comprehensive School but later on he studied at Worksop College in North Nottinghamshire where he was a member of the 1st XI cricket team for 5 seasons. Whilst at the College, Patel represented England at under 15, under 17 and under 19 levels. He contributed to the college's excellent cricket reputation helping them record wins over such schools as Repton, Manchester Grammar School and Shrewsbury School and such clubs as the MCC.

Professional career

Since making his début for Nottinghamshire at the age of 16, Patel has featured consistently in the team, in both first class and List A matches. He became the only man in the history of the English Twenty20 competition to claim a double-wicket-maiden, when Nottinghamshire played Derbyshire at New Road, Worcester, 2006. He scored 887 runs in the County Championship in 2007 including four centuries - he also took 10 wickets and topped the County's bowling averages. In the 2008 season, Patel made a steady start to Nottinghamshire's four-day campaign, scoring three half-centuries and a century against Durham.

. He recorded figures of 5-41 and scored 31 runs off 49 balls in the third ODI to win the "man of the match" award as England claimed the series.

Patel has also played club cricket during the winter in Australia.
