No sources given, and from a cursory Google search, can't even verify that this person exists. Amakuru (talk) 00:27, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Maybe even a WP:HOAX. --bender235 (talk) 01:06, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This article should definitely not be deleted!-India89 — Preceding undated comment added 06:27, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, since you'd like to keep this article, it is possible to provide some evidence and sources which mention this person? At the moment I can't find any sources, and he does not seem to be notable (or maybe even exist). Amakuru (talk) 10:59, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a hoax. Andrew nixon (talk) 16:35, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as an obvious hoax replete with inconsistency (first saying he played for Cambodia and then that Cambodia doesn't have a team), incredibility (a batsman making 999 and a player from Cambodia getting selected for an IPL team with the press not hearing about it) and impossibility (getting Ricky Ponting out three times in one match [a batsman can't be out more than twice in a match]).

Delete - WP:BULLOCKS!!! There isn't a chance in heck that somebody would be selected to play for an IPL club and manage to avoid any sort of press coverage whatsoever, including unreliable blogs. -- Whpq (talk) 18:09, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:SNOW and WP:CSD#G3. We don't need to let this sit here any longer. If some statements in the article were true, it'd be a remarkable achievement to not receive any coverage. —SpacemanSpiff 20:06, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Cambodia doesn't even have a national cricket team.... why am I saying that???? It's clearly a hoax!!! Terminated! AssociateAffiliate (talk) 21:01, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
