Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 51.8 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 0.07 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 40.4.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 143.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting 80 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.60 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · 2nd grade 14). 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.07 per match.
Batting
534 runs in 15 innings, adjusted average 40.4, strike rate 51.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
