Played five matches in 2017 but his performance was not up to the mark so dropped from the team. Never selected again. Scored 182 runs in 5 matches. Not much to write about him. Nothing in coverage. Fails WP:GNG. Störm (talk) 01:01, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep meets WP:NCRIC having played in five first-class matches. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 08:18, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Has played 9 FC matches and 3 List-A matches according to CricketArchive passing him for WP:NCRIC. Has played for two different teams so not sure a redirect is possible here, but again has played 12 matches in top level competitions for the time so not sure he should be deleted anyway.

Delete not enough sources to show a passing of GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:53, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep has played at least five first class matches, meaning a comfortable pass of WP:NCRIC. Just because they were in a single season doesn't make those matches less relevant. As with many others in this batch of AfDs, it's likely that coverage will be in Urdu or other non-English languages; it's unclear in this context what "nothing in coverage" actually means.

Weak keep. Can find no significant coverage, just the usual scorecard-driven databases, but this (not a reliable source, admittedly) suggests that "Iftikhar Ahmed made headlines of few newspapers", and the number of matches played over several seasons (including non-FC), give a reasonable expectation of coverage somewhere. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 14:20, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
