Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 47.1 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 56 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

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.6.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.72.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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
Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.12 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 61 innings at 27.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
84 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 1.56 per match at 17.6, economy 3.72, strike rate 28.3.
