A squad place to make count
Selvaraj arrives in the ILT20 without a public profile to lean on. No international record exists to quote, and no franchise history to point to — so everything he does in Season 5 will be judged on its own, in the nets first and then, if he gets a game, under lights in Sharjah or Dubai.
- Role: Squad member
- Team: Sharjah Warriorz
A thin public record is no handicap here. The ILT20 sets aside places for UAE players so cricketers from the region get a stage the overseas market would rarely offer them, and a few have turned that opening into international careers. Selvaraj's task is simply to be ready — across ten league games, a chance tends to arrive sooner than anyone expects.
What we know, and what we don't
The one fact this page can stand behind is the squad place: Arunraj Selvaraj is named in Sharjah Warriorz's 22-man squad for ILT20 Season 5, while the squad record the team published gives no role for him. It gives no batting or bowling style either, so neither appears here.
Saying only what is certain is the point. Until Selvaraj has played, the gaps stay gaps — no invented role, no invented style. Once he has a first game behind him, his role, his style and his figures will be written in here, as every player's record begins.
The Sharjah Warriorz around him
Selvaraj is one of the least-known names in the Warriorz squad, and Season 5 is his first named place in a franchise squad.
His role is not listed in the verified squad record, and neither are his batting and bowling styles, so this profile does not guess at them. His introduction to a wider audience will have to come the hard way: in the nets first, and then, if a game comes, under lights in Sharjah or Dubai.
