As part of the Notability wikiproject, I am trying to sort out whether this cricket player is notable enough to have its own article. I'm not sufficiently familiar with the subject to judge whether it should be kept as a separate article; the article claims that he played in international competition, but it's not quite clear to me how much that can be counted (was it an U-19 world cup?). Opinions are welcome; please add your comments below. --B. Wolterding 20:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

It looks like it was the U-19 World Cup, so the article needs to make that clear. That in itself would not count as notable. But in addition to that he has played in one List A match, which by the guidelines adopted by WP:Cricket (based on the Wiki notability criteria for sportspeople) makes him notable. See the two main cricket reference websites' data on him:
