Is this guy notable? The article appears to give no indication of that, but my non-familiarity with cricket makes me hesitant: I don't think Twenty20 or List A looks like it's "played at the highest international or domestic level", to quote WP:ATHLETE's cricket section, which explicitly ignores his participation in a youth competition, but I could easily be wrong. I don't see him passing WP:GNG; a Google search finds occasional useful but not-particularly-extensive coverage (example), but it's mixed in with stuff about cricketer Steven Pope, who also played as a wicketkeeper, as well as generally useless stuff like forums (example), stuff about Stephen Pope's income (example), information related to the instigator of the Cadaver Synod, and Facebook entries for men with this name who post stuff about cricket.

 * Keep List A and Twenty20 are the two highest forms of domestic one-day cricket. He has even played first-class cricket. He easily passes WP:CRIN and the user above clearly hasn't read those guidelines. AA (too lazy to log in) --82.30.29.7 (talk) 18:39, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep As a player in both List A and first-class matches, he appears to comfortably pass WP:CRIN. Vanamonde (talk) 10:32, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. The nominator appears unaware of the notability standards here. StAnselm (talk) 10:34, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep clearly passes WP:NCRIC as he has played in List-A, First-Class and T20 cricket matches. See his Cricinfo profile for confirmation. -  Yellow Dingo &#160; (talk)  11:04, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
