While subject appears to meet the criteria of WP:NSPORTS, he does not appear to meet WP:GNG. Cannot identify multiple, reliable, independent, non-trivial references. KDS4444^Talk 13:47, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong keep. The man has played Test cricket, never mind first-class cricket, and therefore meets requirements of WP:CRIN with something to spare. If you feel the article needs more citations, then tag it as such with "refimprove". Jack | ^{talk page} 15:11, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I would add that ESPNcricinfo is an impeccable source for cricket data. However, I will add CricketArchive to the article too as further verification. Jack | ^{talk page} 15:13, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Jack. —Zia Khan 15:23, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep - possibly the worst ever cricket AfD ever! He's a Test cricketer, who played for his country in international matches at the highest level!!! Not to mention having a substantial domestic first-class career! Easily meets WP:CRIN, WP:ATH, by extension WP:GNG. Howzat?Out!Out!Out! (talk) 16:21, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
