Nipuna Jayasekara
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
15 of 19 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 43 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 1 match since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- 406 runs in 31 innings, adjusted average 18.2, strike rate 61.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 14.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
