RyanPatel

Player Bio

Patel is a Surrey Academy graduate who has progressed through the club’s system, and is now a regular in the red-ball side.

Patel’s stand out moment to date came during the Guildford victory over Somerset in 2018 when he claimed five wickets in 11 balls, ending with figures of 6/5 and a first-class record to boot.

His versatility with the bat; operating as an opener right through the middle order and down to eight, as well as his right-arm medium pace saw him play 10 matches as Surrey went on to win the Specsavers County Championship. 2019 saw Ryan score his maiden first-class century for the Club.

Guildford has become a cherished venue for Patel, who smashed his maiden List A century there with 131 runs from just 70 balls against Nottinghamshire there in 2021.

Patel and skipper Burns opened the batting in every County Championship game of the 2022 season. The left hander scored 719 runs at an average of 35.95 that gave Surrey a solid base to perform from that eventually led to the clubs 21st County Championship crown.
