Keep - as with a huge range of other AfDs, the correct standard is not WP:GNG, but WP:CRIN which is passed by virtue of playing List A cricket. DevaCat1 (talk) 17:46, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Islamabad cricketers or similar Has played 2 List-A matches, but no coverage. Using similar precedent to that used in WP:FOOTY when a player has 1 or a few appearances but no coverage, they are deleted/redirected. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:08, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep played in LA matches, meeting WP:NCRIC. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 13:08, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete none of the sources provide the significant coverage which is needed to pass GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:47, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No significant coverage, only wide-ranging databases consisting mostly of scorecard data, so fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTCRIT. In addition, his trivial pass of NCRIC is negated by a strict interpretation, since qualifying/preliminary round matches are plainly not the "highest domestic level" and he was not playing for a department. Clearly verifiable, so inclusion in a list would be a valid WP:ATD, but no suitable list exists. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 14:04, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
