Who is an uncapped played?
A cricketer is deemed uncapped if they have not played for their national team in any international format (T20I, ODI or Test). In the Indian context, a player who has not been part of the national team’s playing XI in the last five years or lacks a BCCI central contract is also classified as uncapped.
