Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 53.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.14 catches per match over 66 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 Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 4.00 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 27 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.70 for the level played (1st grade 17 · 2nd grade 35 · 3rd grade 6 · 4th grade 7 · 5th grade and below 1). 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: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 66 matches — 0.14 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 58 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
71 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 66 played) — 1.31 per match at 28.4, economy 4.00, strike rate 42.6.
