Скачать или смотреть Ajaz's perfect 10 will open doors for more Asian players - Dipak Patel

Dipak Patel, the former New Zealand spinner, hopes that Ajaz Patel's recent 10-wicket haul against India, which put him in an elusive list of cricketers, will serve as an inspiration for many Asian cricketers who are hopeful of playing for New Zealand.

Ajaz, born to Indian parents, was brought up in Mumbai before his family moved to New Zealand when he was 8 years old. Having gone through the domestic grind of New Zealand cricket, he went on to become the fourth Indian-origin cricketer after Dipak, Jeetan Patel and Ish Sodhi to represent the country.

However, Dipak, who is also Ajaz's coach, believes there hasn't been an equal opportunity for growth of players from Asian origin. But he believes Ajaz's efforts will raise hopes and open a few more doors.
