Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 44.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 35 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 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 30). 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: 6 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.27 per match.
Batting
379 runs in 28 innings, adjusted average 26.1, strike rate 44.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
24 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.83 per match at 14.5, economy 4.00, strike rate 21.8.
