Critical recommendations

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.14 catches per match over 21 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.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.2.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.48.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.30 for the level played (Club 21). 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: 3 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.24 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 17 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
28 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 1.75 per match at 16.3, economy 2.48, strike rate 39.4.
