Ayaan Shami (14)
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 55 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.9 over 40 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
0.8 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Only 0.11 catches per match over 55 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
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 10 run outs (9 direct, 1 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 8.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 0.65 per match at 18.3, economy 4.88, strike rate 22.5.
