This is Through the Pickets, a podcast proudly brought to you by the New Zealand Cricket Players Association where we showcase our members interests, achievements and experiences either side of the white picket fence, with more of a lens on their off-field endeavours.
Today’s Episode features a man who was born in Mumbai India and migrated to NZ as an 8-year-old. He debuted for the Blackcaps at the age of 30 taking a five wicket haul in his first test match, and bowled in excess of 20,000 balls for 350 wickets. Most recently Ajaz Patel became just the third man in the history of cricket behind Jim Laker and Anil Kumble to take all 10 wickets in an innings of a test match.
