Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 55.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.13 catches per match over 15 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

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 36.8.
  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.4.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.03.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 63 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 14 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
331 runs in 12 innings, adjusted average 36.8, strike rate 55.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
21 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.50 per match at 14.4, economy 3.03, strike rate 28.6.
