Hayden Peter Patrizi Dell’Agnello (born 1 October 1985) is an Australian-born Italian cricketer. Patrizi is a right-handed batsman who fields as a wicket-keeper. He was born at Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Western Australia.

While in Australia, Patrizi played for Western Australia at the under-17 and under-19 levels between the 2002/03 and 2004/05 seasons.[1] He also played for the Western Australia Second XI in the 2004/05 and 2005/06 seasons, though he was unable to force his way into the first eleven.[1] In 2009, he played a single Second XI match in England for the Hampshire Second XI against the Somerset Second XI.[2] Patrizi qualified to play for Italy due to his Italian heritage. His first appearance for Italy came against Ireland A in the 2010 European Cricket Championship Division One, in which Patrizi played five matches.[1] He was then selected as part of Italy's squad for the 2010 World Cricket League Division Four, which was hosted by Italy.[3] He made five appearances during the tournament,[1] helping Italy earn promotion to the 2011 World Cricket League Division Three.[4] Division Three was played in Hong Kong in January 2011, with Patrizi selected as part of Italy's thirteen-man squad.[5] He played in all six of Italy's matches in the tournament,[1] scoring 158 runs at an average of 31.60, with a high score of 78.[6] This was one of two half centuries he made in the tournament. Behind the stumps, he took nine catches and made a single stumping.

In July 2011, Patrizi played in the European T20 Championship in Jersey and Guernsey,[1] which saw Italy end the tournament as runners-up to Denmark. This result qualified them to take part in the World Twenty20 Qualifier in the United Arab Emirates in March 2012. He was selected as part of Italy's fourteen-man squad for the qualifier.[7] He made his Twenty20 debut during the tournament against Oman, with him making eight further appearances during the tournament, the last of which came against Kenya.[8] In the nine matches, he scored 34 runs at an average of 6.80, with a high score of 10 not out. Behind the stumps, he took ten catches and made two stumpings.[9] Italy finished the tournament in tenth place and therefore missed out on qualification for the 2012 World Twenty in Sri Lanka. In April 2013, Patrizi was selected in Italy's fourteen-man squad for the World Cricket League Division Three in Bermuda.[10]
