Munaf Patel, one of the fastest bowlers in India, will play for the Ranji trophy champions Mumbai this season.

Joint honourary secretary of the Mumbai Cricket Association Prof. Ratnakar Shetty said on Sunday that Patel met him at the MCA office on Saturday to submit the transfer certificate from Gujarat to Mumbai.

The 22-year-old paceman represented India-A in the three-day cricket match against New Zealand at Rajkot from October 2-4 and picked up five wickets, including that of Kiwi skipper Stephen Fleming and prolific scorer Nathan Astle, even before playing in the first class matches for Gujarat.
