Patel has always been considered a player of great promise but has yet to consistently produce the goods at first-team level. A hard-hitting middle order batsman and capable slow left-arm bowler, he represented England at Under-15, Under-17 and
Under-19 levels. He was awarded the Test Match Special Young Cricketer of
the Year award in 2000 for his impressive performances in the Under-15 World Cup. He made his debut for Nottinghamshire 2nd XI at the age of just 14,
in late 1999 but has failed to kick on since. In 2006, however, Patel finally began to show signs of realising his potential, scoring 156 not out against Middlesex, an innings in which he went from 100 to 150 in just 17 balls. Some of his most eye-catching performances came in Twenty20, including a unique double-wicket maiden against Derbyshire in 2006, but it was in 50-over cricket that he first attracted the interest of England's selectors, who named him in a 30-man provisional squad for the 2008 Champions Trophy. A few weeks later he was also announced in England's one-day squad to take on South Africa that August.
