Critical recommendations

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

9 of 18 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

high Fielding
Catching return too low for selection

Only 0.14 catches per match over 21 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 22 × 40% · Batting 35 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 21). 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: 3 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.24 per match.
Batting
343 runs in 21 innings, adjusted average 18.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 4 wickets from 24.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.19 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
