His only five wicket haul came against Gujarat for Bombay.[6]
Having returned to England, Hatteea played minor counties cricket for Oxfordshire, making 3 Minor Counties Championship appearances for the county in 1972.[7] It was for Oxfordshire that he made his only List A appearance against Durham in the Gillette Cup.[8] In this match he scored an unbeaten 6 runs.
