Comment - Please, at least for cricketers from English-speaking countries, at least consider taking them to WT:CRIC first, there will be people who can find more information than I can, and they will be able to find them from better places than just CI and CA. For English teams, a Google search and/or database certainly won't be the be-all-and-end all. Bobo . 21:44, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - C&P-ing from Anthony Foot - Just because you are incapable of finding information yourself does not mean it doesn't exist. AfD should never be the reflex reaction. AfD debates are not the way to get articles improved. Take these issues to other places first. Bobo . 10:05, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wholly non-notable. I am not sure I even agree with Bobo192's suggestion elsewhere that "no other sports are criticised as much as cricket". There have been plenty of deletions recently of similar non-notable footballers and low-level football leagues. RobinCarmody (talk) 14:24, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I mean in terms of cricketers who clearly reach standards of inclusion on Wikipedia. If people did work to expand these themselves instead of criticizing them, we would get somewhere as a project, but people would rather hack the project down for the sake of not being bothered to do the work themselves. It's much easier. Bobo . 11:16, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete Those defending this article are attempting to impose on Wikipedia systemic bias where we keep rubbish articles on players if they are from the UK but delete the rubbish articles on players from south Asia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:49, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Define "rubbish articles"? Articles that people haven't been bothered to update for the last 11 years? Don't blame the article creators for that please. Blame those who would sooner delete than improve. kthxbai. Bobo . 20:19, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
