Jeetan Patel joins ODI squad

Coach Mike Hesson said it was a horses for courses selection.

Wellington spinner Jeetan Patel has been called into the BLACKCAPS One Day squad ahead of the final ANZ ODI against Bangladesh in Nelson.

Coach Mike Hesson said it was a horses for courses selection.

“With the slow nature of the Saxton Oval surface and the number of left handers in the Bangladesh line-up, we feel Jeetan will be a good option to have for the final game.

“He’s been bowling very well for the Wellington Firebirds in the McDonald’s Super Smash and will be a welcome addition to the squad.”

Patel will join the side tomorrow in Nelson.
