There is no newspaper articles I can find about this person, nor any reliable cricket database. Hongsy (talk) 04:18, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'd only be copying and pasting what I've written over at WT:CRIC. If anyone feels like putting together some more team-by-team lists for Indian and Sri Lankan teams, please feel free. Bobo . 04:21, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the absence of a suitable redirect - and I don't have time to create one - this will need to be a delete I'm afraid. We simply don't know enough about the person to justify an article as far as I can see. If a list is created please contact me and I'll change this opinion.

Delete in absence of suitable redirect Looks to be a WP:GNG fail. Normally I'd suggest a redirect per WP:ATD, but as BST states, a suitable list for the team he played for does not exist currently. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 20:00, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless someone wants to create a List of Nondescripts Cricket Club players. Doesn't pass WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:24, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Cricketers with one known appearance very rarely generate sufficient coverage to enable us to write an article rather than a database entry in prose form. So obscure that there would be zero value in a redirect even if a suitable target existed. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 17:17, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
