The consensus about such lists is that they should not exist unless there is coverage in reliable sources where they are discussed as a group. As no coverage was found, so this list fails
WP:NLIST. Plenty of space on parent article if we need any sort of selective merge.

Keep. 35 centuries across his career is a notable achievement and is plenty enough for a standalone list. 25, there or there abouts, should be the cut-off.

25 is an arbitrary number.

Merge into main article. This article is longer than the main article, which is crazy if you ask me.

Merge No need for separate article,
WP:NOTSTATS does not count as centuries are a small and rather exclusive part of a cricketers career. If it was his whole international career details I would have said delete, but it's not so its def a merge.

Comment - note to closing admin - there was a
RfC on this and the consensus on
WP:CRIC was to remove these statistics from bios per WP:NOTSTATS.

Not true: "There's no consensus here that they should universally be included. Nor is there a clear consensus that such sections should be removed from all cricketer articles."wjematherplease leave a message... 10:21, 24 January 2021 (UTC)reply
Delete with the possibility of some prose being added to the player's article. These sorts of tables need to be supported by prose and considered on an individual basis if they're going to be included on the individual's article. I would rather see a summary added than a table such as this - if this were added it needs to be massively cut down to ensure that it doesn't take over the page.

Detailing significant numbers in prose alone is cumbersome and impairs readability, so tables are the way to go, especially in a statistics driven sport. wjematherplease leave a message... 10:15, 27 January 2021 (UTC)reply
