- ● Premier or state pathway — 9 matches (+3.6)

Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 2.4 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.02 catches per match over 53 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.
Out for 0 in 40% 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 11.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.32.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Rep Div 2 5 · Club 44). 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: 1 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.06 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 2.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.81 per match at 11.1, economy 2.32, strike rate 28.8.
