Critical recommendations

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.13 catches per match over 32 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 3.49 is excellent but a wicket every 49 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 30.6 (frequently not out).
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 49 × 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 32). 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: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.16 per match.
Batting
588 runs in 31 innings, adjusted average 30.6, strike rate 80.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
15 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.58 per match at 28.4, economy 3.49, strike rate 48.8.
