Critical recommendations

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.11 catches per match over 27 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

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 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 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 3 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.19 per match.
Batting
345 runs in 23 innings, adjusted average 25.4, strike rate 73.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
14 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.78 per match at 23.9, economy 3.92, strike rate 36.6.
