This article is doesn't cite any sources nor have any external links. It is also very short and possibly seems like autobiography.  Nepali Keto 62 Talk to me 01:09, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. It does have sources, in both the infobox and the external link. Both show that this person meets WP:CRIN and as he played in the 1930s, I'd be very impressed if it was an autobiography. The-Pope (talk) 02:02, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep and improve. What a shamefully lazy AFD. A quick Google search for "sultan abbas cricket" brings up coverage on ESPN, CricketArchive, etc. Please read WP:BEFORE. OnionRing (talk) 13:39, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep appears to have been a player in first-class cricket in India, with 5 or 6 matches played, depending which source you believe. It's not a lot of play at first-class level, but you have to draw the line somewhere, and by our standards, apparently he's notable enough to merit an article.
