T20 and T20I both columns cannot be displayed together[edit]

Why T20 and T20I both columns cannot be displayed together under Career statistics header in cricketer Infobox ? at present, only one can be shown. Which seem to be incorrect. Our presumption here is that T20 is domestic T20 and T20I is international T20.

In case if code considers T20s and T20Is as same, then we must introduce T20D as T20 domestic.

For example: cricketer Abhishek Sharma has just started playing T20 international (no ODI or Test). hence T20-International and domestic T20s both are required to be displayed, but either one can be shown in the infobox.

Sorted it. You just needed to change |columns = 3 to |columns = 4. Ideally though, the T20I, currently col4, should be moved to col1. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 16:11, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Number of columns under Career statistics header[edit]

Is it possible to have 6 columns instead of 4 under Career statistics header in cricketer Infobox ?

e.g. - Test cricket. One day international, Twenty20 International, T20 domestic, First-class cricket, List A cricket Sunak2310 (talk) 16:53, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Display problems under International information[edit]

Something is wrong with the way the template displays piped links: for example, on Abdul Rahman Rahmani under International information, it displays

National side: [[Afghanistan national cricket team|Afghanistan]] and

ODI debut (cap [[List of Afghanistan ODI cricketers|57]]) flod logic (talk) 08:26, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1) Please make the T20I stats appear in all the player's career statistics (T20I format is International form of 20 over cricket) The column should take precedence over LA (List A) cricket as that is now limited to domestic cricket (Cricket played on a national level).

2) Please make the Strike Rate Stat appear as along with average it is an important metric for classification on both batters and bowlers in Cricket nowadays

3) I would suggest a timeframe for displaying LA vs T20I for players. The first T20I was played in 2005 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty20) and the oldest T20I player to play was 59 years old (https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/oldest-players-on-debut-283460). I would suggest the cut off date be kept at 60 years (1945)

I would like you to please make these changes after thorough thought
