Overview
- Gujarat Cricket Association secretary Anil Patel said the transfer is complete and welcomed Patel's homecoming.
- Patel will join a pre-season tri-series with Baroda and Saurashtra this month and is available for the Ranji Trophy, with Gujarat slated to open against Assam in October.
- He said the move stems from wanting to be closer to family, as he resides in Ahmedabad and spends time in the USA.
- The seamer described himself as a white-ball specialist yet remains ready for red-ball duties and expects to mentor a transitioning squad under coach Ramesh Powar.
- His exit further thins Haryana’s experience after Jayant Yadav’s departure, ending a tenure that brought 246 first-class wickets in 74 games and key white-ball success.
