Derbyshire Falcons captain, Samit Patel, will leave the Club upon the conclusion of the Vitality Blast.
Since joining the Club from Nottinghamshire in 2023, Patel, 40, has made 33 appearances for Derbyshire, across T20 and List A, scoring 523 runs and claiming 33 wickets. He holds the all-time record for the most appearances in the Vitality Blast, as well as featuring in the top ten for both runs and wickets in the competition.
The Falcons skipper has led the to many memorable victories, including wins over Notts Outlaws at The Central Co-op County Ground and Trent Bridge, doing the T20 double over Yorkshire in 2025 and claiming back-to-back victories against Leicestershire Foxes in double-headers at Edgbaston.
Patel will captain the Falcons for the final time this evening, against Birmingham Bears at The Central Co-op County Ground.
