Rakep Patel (born 12 July 1989) is a Kenyan international cricketer. A product of the Nairobi Gymkhana Club,[1] he is a wicket-keeperbatsman who plays right-handed, and occasionally bowls off spin.

Career[edit]

He made his lone performance for the Kenya Select team in their inaugural season, and found himself called up to the national squad for their tour of Europe, including a tour of the Netherlands and the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier.[1]

In a 2013 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier match against Nepal, Patel scored 103 off 45 balls, batting at number 6. This equalled the record of Dawid Malan for the highest Twenty20 score from a player batting at that position but has since been bettered.[2]

In January 2018, Patel was named as captain of Kenya's squad for the 2018 ICC World Cricket League Division Two tournament.[3] However, Kenya finished in sixth and last place in the tournament and were relegated to Division Three.[4] As a result, Patel resigned as captain of the Kenyan team.[5]

In September 2018, he was named in Kenya's squad for the 2018 Africa T20 Cup.[6] The following month, he was named in Kenya's squad for the 2018 ICC World Cricket League Division Three tournament in Oman.[7]

In May 2019, he was named in Kenya's squad for the Regional Finals of the 2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier tournament in Uganda.[8][9] He was the leading run-scorer for Kenya in the Regional Finals, with 106 runs in three matches.[10]

In September 2019, he was named in Kenya's squad for the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier tournament in the United Arab Emirates.[11] In November 2019, he was named in Kenya's squad for the Cricket World Cup Challenge League B tournament in Oman.[12] In October 2021, he was named in Kenya's squad for the Regional Final of the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier tournament in Rwanda.[13]
