Pretty Excited About Chance To Play Six Test Matches In The Sub-continent: New Zealand Spinner Ajaz Patel
Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports: Ahead of the one-off Test against Afghanistan on Monday, New Zealand left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel said he is thrilled about the prospect of playing six Tests on the trot in Asia.
Patel, who earned the distinction of being only the third men’s cricketer to claim 10 wickets in a Test innings after Jim Laker and Anil Kumble, has played 16 matches in the longer format so far – eleven of those appearances have come in Asia.
"If you ask all New Zealand spinners, it is difficult. Sometimes, obviously, you don't get as many opportunities at home because of our home conditions. But it breeds more hunger when you do come to conditions like this, and you know conditions that are spin-friendly and you're quite hungry to get out there and play and put your best foot forward and perform."
