Critical recommendations

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.08 catches per match over 25 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 Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

8 of 10 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Scores quickly (SR 109.1) without sacrificing consistency.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 40 × 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 25). 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: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.12 per match.
Batting
295 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 22.1, strike rate 109.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
10 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.45 per match at 13.0, economy 2.64, strike rate 29.5.
