OP Stone

OP Stone is a fast bowler who has established himself as a reliable wicket-taker across all formats of international cricket. With 157 Test wickets at an average of 27.84 from 47 matches, Stone has proven most effective in the longest format, where his pace and accuracy have troubled batsmen consistently. His Test bowling average demonstrates his ability to be a frontline bowler, contributing significantly to his team's success over an extended career. In limited-overs cricket, Stone has been particularly prolific in T20 internationals, claiming 83 wickets from 85 matches at an average of 29.04. His extensive T20 experience suggests he has adapted well to the demands of the shortest format, maintaining his effectiveness despite the batting-friendly conditions typical of T20 cricket. While his batting contributions remain modest across all formats, with Test runs totaling 1018 at an average of 17.86, Stone's primary value lies in his bowling capabilities. His limited ODI appearances suggest either injury concerns or format-specific selection policies, but his overall statistics indicate a bowler who has served his country with distinction, particularly in Test and T20 cricket.
