Critical recommendations

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.00 catches per match over 10 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

  • ✓ Scores quickly (SR 290.0) without sacrificing consistency.
  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 4.6.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 1.86.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 15 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 60 × 30% · Bowling 81 × 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 10). 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: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.00 per match.
Batting
322 runs in 11 innings, adjusted average 29.3, strike rate 290.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
14 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 2.33 per match at 4.6, economy 1.86, strike rate 15.0.
