## Resource

Rishi Patel, the 27-year-old cricket star who helped transform Leicestershire from struggling underdogs to title contenders, is stepping away at season’s end. In just six years, he’s been instrumental in their One-Day Cup win in 2023 and Division Two promotion in 2025, while leading the run-scoring charts this season with 587 runs, including a blistering 164. Though he called it “the right time” to move on — acknowledging the club’s role in launching his career — Leicestershire’s director of cricket, Claude Henderson, respected his decision. Patel’s departure marks the end of an era for a team he helped redefine, and fans are left wondering where his next chapter will take him.
