The article clearly doesn't meet WP:GNG. The sources in the article are simply directory/stats listings, which I believe do not establish notability. Have performed a WP:BEFORE and nothing came up. I've nominated two articles previously which were similar and they have been deleted (here and here). Editors over there cited the WP:CRIN guideline which is being debated itself and for it to change, precedent is needed, clearly those guidelines aren't being accepted and seem to me like they'll never be able to satisfy the GNG. Another argument given by editors on similar pages is given that sources in other languages might exist, I am thoroughly unconvinced by this as none of these sources have materialized and I feel like it's an argument which can be used anywhere; all an editor has to do is claim that sources exist. Please note I am a new editor and this is my understanding after trying my best to read as many guidelines and past discussions as possible, I could have easily made mistake, but I am just trying to be bold.

 * Delete: - unlikely to have further cricketing notability, only playing one List A match.  --Whiteguru (talk) 12:56, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails GNG/BIO/SPORTBASIC. A great example of why there is consensus at NSPORT to rewrite NCRIC and remove the low-bar domestic appearance criteria. One solitary match played, in which he contributed very little. No sources available beyond routine and indiscriminate statistics. wjematherplease leave a message... 12:58, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete-- Meets NCRIC but it's difficult to presume notability for this player at the dusk of his career. Better hold off on a standalone article until some actual sources are found. Usedtobecool ☎️ 09:58, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Islamabad cricketers, which would need to be created. StickyWicket (talk) 19:35, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
