Who is Neel Patel? Indian-origin prodigy named in Australia U19 squad for India tour
Neel Patel, an Indian-origin opening batter from New South Wales, was named in Australia's U19 squad for a four-week tour of India.
The tour includes three one-day and two four-day matches against India U19 in Rajkot and Ahmedabad from September 13 to October 9.
Patel, who plays for UNSW Cricket Club, became one of the youngest players in Sydney Premier Cricket First Grade history after scoring over 1,000 runs in a calendar year at age 16.
He has since added a maiden first-grade century and was selected for Cricket Australia's U19 Men's Talent Camp in Adelaide.
Patel is an elegant opening batter who also bowls off-spin, and he is working on his back-foot game and fielding.
