This draft lacks inline citations. Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that all content be supported by reliable sources. We require inline citations (footnotes) to show which source supports which specific statement.

You must place an inline citation directly after:

quotations;
any material whose verifiability is likely to be challenged or is contentious;

Comment: No evidence of notability. Playing internationally for a country without test status does not make a player notable. We need to see sources that satisfy the WP:GNG notability guideline.
And all the information must be clearly supported by inline citations to reliable published sources. DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:14, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
