Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Patel got his chance to represent England's ODI team in 2008 when he was chosen to play against Scotland in August. Later that year, he showed glimpses of his talent with a Man of the Match performance against the visiting South Africans at The Oval. He picked up 5 for 41 and scored 31 runs as England won the match and clinched the series. However, his career was abruptly hindered by an increasing waistline as he was dropped for fitness reasons in 2009. He was included in the 30 man probables for the 2009 T20 World Cup but failed to make it to the final squad as he was yet to get back to acceptable shape.
With England setting eyes on the 2011 World Cup in the sub-continent, Samit Patel again came in the reckoning as his style of play suited the conditions. In a hope that he would get back to proper fitness, he was included in the 30-man probables. \"All we were saying was 'get into reasonable shape'. It didn't have to be perfect,\" said England's coach, Andy Flower. However, Patel once again failed to prove his fitness and was forced to sit out of the squad. He returned to the national squad after England's exit from the World Cup and was a regular in the team since Sri Lanka's tour of England in June, 2011. He played a few ODIs against India at home and also travelled to India and was fully part of the 5-match ODI series doing fairly well. However, he was in and out of the side soon after. He got his Test breakthrough during England's tour of Sri Lanka in 2012 and featured in both the games. He returned to the side again for the tour of India to play all three formats as the selectors trusted his spin to work out in the sub-continental conditions.
He played the first three Test matches in Ahmedabad, Mumbai and Kolkata respectively but was left out of the side for the Nagpur-leg before both the T20Is and the entire 5-match ODI series. Lack of performance forced the selectors to axe him out of the side and never played an ODI since the one against India at Dharamsala. However, he went to New Zealand a couple of months later and featured in a couple of T20Is but has since then been on the road.
Patel spent a declining 2014 season with the bat, and the story continued in 2015, only for him to get a surprise call-up to the Test side for a series against Pakistan in UAE. He featured in the third and final Test at Sharjah, which Pakistan won, and Patel has never played Test cricket ever since.
He, though, has had an impactful career ever since as the Nottinghamshire all-rounder. He was instrumental in Nottinghamshire claiming a white-balls double and a Division One promotion in the 2017 season. He scored 539 runs and took 9 wickets in the Royal London One-Day Cup and accrued 405 runs and claimed 16 wickets in the NatWest T20 Blast, thus rightly going on to win the prestigious PCA Most Valuable Player award that ended a 30-year wait for a Notts player to have the honour.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Samit Patel, a hard-hitting middle-order batter and a more than capable slow left-arm bowler, has been one of the most watchable county cricketers of his generation, but he will be remembered as one who had several opportunities to make his mark for England, without ever quite holding down a regular place.
Samit's bugbear was having to repeatedly convince England that his fitness levels were acceptable; it was a feat he never entirely managed, not helped by the fact that the left-arm slows that made him an especially tempting option in Asia turned out to lack the guile to trouble the best players.
He represented England at Under-15, U-17 and U-19 levels, and in his breakthrough international season, 2008, played 11 ODIs, impressing particularly with the 5 for 41 that beat South Africa at The Oval. But instead of kicking on to greater things, his career stagnated amid repeated failures to sort out his waistline.
In 2011, when he did reach the basic fitness targets laid out by England, he was rewarded with a recall to the limited-overs set-up, his first international involvement for two and a half years. That season was the first in which he made over 1000 first-class runs, to go with 33 wickets, for Nottinghamshire. And he was one of few players to come out of England's poor tour of India in credit with 160 runs at 40. Samit earned a first Test call-up for England's tour of Sri Lanka in March 2012. On that tour, and his next, the one of India the following season, he did not make an impact. He won a surprise call-up as England's third spinner for a Test series against Pakistan in the UAE in 2015, taking three wickets in the third Test, a Pakistan win.
That was it for his international career, though in county cricket there was much more on either side. His 3 for 21 from seven overs took Nottinghamshire to their first limited-pvers trophy in over 20 years when they won the 2013 Yorkshire Bank 40 title. And he was at the forefront of the club's excellent 2017 season, when they made it back to the first division in the Championship and won both limited-overs trophies. That year, he made an unbeaten 122 against Essex as Notts pulled off a record 50-over chase in the semi-final. And he was the Player-of-the-Match in the T20 final at Edgbaston for his 64 off 42 balls against Birmingham Bears.
