Patel Included As a Standby For Vettori

Wellington: New Zealand off spinner Jetan Patel has been included in the ODI squad as a likely replacement for skipper Daniel Vettori who might not be available for a couple of matches as his wife is expected to give birth to their first child.

The birth of the child of Vettori and Mary is due shortly and there are chances of a few complications creeping in during the process as a result of which Patel has been included as a standby for the captain.

"In case Daniel is called away at short notice Jetan has come in on standby. He will remain with the squad through the ODI series or until required," said Dave Currie, the New Zealand team manager.

Patel was a member of the New Zealand A squad, playing against the visiting England Lions. His place has been taken by Bruce Martin, the left-arm spinner from Northern Districts. Patel last represented New Zealand earlier this year, in the five-ODI series against Australia. He managed just one wicket in three ODIs, conceding 110 runs.
