Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 8.9 over 46 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.09 catches per match over 57 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 4 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 55). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.09 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 46 innings at 8.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
40 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 1.03 per match at 28.4, economy 5.34, strike rate 31.9.
