Nishantha Weerakkody
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 6.1 over 29 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Only 0.08 catches per match over 40 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.32.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 4 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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 40). 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: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.07 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 6.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 57 wickets in 40 matches — 1.43 per match at 21.3, economy 3.32, strike rate 38.4.
