NZu2019s Mumbai- born Ajaz Patel may turn up against India

Wellington: Mumbai- born Ajaz Patel, 31, is in line for a dream appearance against India after the left- arm spinner was named Monday in the Black Capsu2019 13- man squad for the two- Test series beginning on Friday.

He played his first Test for New Zealand against Pakistan in 2018 but has only earned seven caps, with Black Capsu2019 selectors preferring all- rounder Mitchell Santner. Even after his debut two years ago, Patelu2019s thoughts were focused on one day playing India.
