Moved to mainspace by Harrias (talk). Self-nominated at 10:46, 5 January 2020 (UTC).

  • Article was moved to mainspace on the nomination date, is over the required prose size and has no copyvio concerns. Hooks are interesting, AGF on the offline sources. A QPQ is required to complete the nomination. One thing I would suggest is adding cricketer before his name in the hook? Just to make it clearer what he was playing in the hook.

  • @Kosack: Thanks for the review. I have added a QPQ and tweaked the hooks above as suggested to include cricket. Harrias talk 20:56, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
