- Akhil Patel
Akhil Patel (born
June 18 ,1990 ) is an Englishcricket er. He is a left-handed batsman and a slow left-arm chinaman bowler. Patel was born inNottingham . Patel made his debut first-class appearance for Derbyshire in April 2007 at the age of just 16, making a sturdy innings of 31 against Cambridge University UCCE, assisting the county's new Danish starFrederik Klokker on the latter's way to a century in just his second first-class appearance.Patel has also appeared in 2007 for Derbyshire's Second XI team, once again in partnership with Klokker. Patel is an often-reliable force with the bat, his only weakness so far being shown in a Second XI game against Nottinghamshire where, surrounded by some weaker team-mates, seven of whom failed to make double-figures, Patel was caught while in the middle of an initially healthy-looking partnership with team-mate Nicholas Ferraby.
Patel's brother, Samit, six years his senior, has played first-class cricket for Nottinghamshire since 2002.
