Fails WP:CRIN, which states a player must have "...appeared as a player for an Associate team in a Twenty20 International match after 1 July 2018 in either a World T20 (men or women), Global Qualifier (men or women) or Regional Final (men only)". The matches he played in do not fall under these criteria. The article also claims he was the first captain of the Malta cricket team (itself not a reason for inclusion), but this is also incorrect - the first recorded captain is Michael Caruana in 1997.

 * Weak delete - there has been some recent coverage in news reports which is more than just a passing mention of his name or role: Hindustan Times, Times of Malta etc... Overall I don't think this is quite in depth enough to quite get to meet WP:GNG so I'm minded that we should probably delete the article for now. I might be persuaded that it should be kept if more sources emerged and I were pinged. Blue Square Thing (talk) 06:09, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak delete, basically exactly what said. I have some concerns about how WP:CRIN works now though, that a player appearing in a domestic T20 in Ireland/Zimbabwe/Bangladesh for example would be considered intrinsically notable, but an international player has to prove their notability through WP:GNG. There is certainly more coverage for Khosla than there is for a lot of those sort of players. (Not a discussion for here, I appreciate, but this brought home to me how flawed CRIN now is.

 * Comment. I think the current inclusion criteria still (and I think rightly so) takes into account that these are the exact some teams who competed at levels deemed non-notable by CRIN prior to the ICC decision to give all members IT20 status. So it follows roughly the same rule as ICC Trophy inclusion. The quality and coverage of the cricket hasn't improved with the awarding of IT20. Whereas the domestic teams in those countries are under the umbrella of a full member and the players are paid professionals. StickyWicket (talk) 13:16, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh come on, international cricket in Zimbabwe is barely professional, let alone domestic cricket. Harrias  talk 13:23, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Still considerably higher level than China v Swaziland! StickyWicket (talk) 14:19, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
