Spinner Ajaz Patel, who is one of only three players to have taken 10 wickets in a Test innings, will return to the New Zealand cricket team for its three-Test tour to England next month.
Mr. Patel joined Jim Laker of England and Anil Kumble of India in an elite club when he took 10-119 in New Zealand's second Test against India in Wankhede in December, 2021.
The left-armer hasn't played a Test since. He was left out of tests against Bangladesh and South Africa at home last summer as New Zealand opted for all-pace attacks. Mr. Patel returns as New Zealand's front-line spinner for the England series.
