Muhammad Khizar SHEIKH (14)
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Premier or state pathway — 4 matches (+1.6)
- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.6 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
15 of 21 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 2 4 · Club 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 14.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.27 per match at 11.6, economy 3.23, strike rate 21.5.
