Length, history and reference verified. However, running it through the copyvio detector suggests the use of quotes from the club's blog post about him needs to be trimmed back considerably. Daniel Case (talk) 04:40, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
@Daniel Case: Hi! Thanks for the review. Should I remove the quotes from the article to revise the copyvio problem? Is there anything else that I should do to fix the article? Thanks, Jith12 (talk) 15:55, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
@Jith12: Just trim the quotes down. Actually, I think you could do with just trimming that one large blockquote down, i.e. paraphrasing most of it and just using a sentence or two, at most, inline. Daniel Case (talk) 03:27, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
@Daniel Case: I made the block quote shorter; it is now it is one sentence and a part of the "Early Career" main paragraph. I also removed the quote in the "International Career" section as it wasn't very relevant to the content of the section. How is the article now? Jith12 (talk) 00:07, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
@Jith12: Much better now. Good to go. Daniel Case (talk) 05:43, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
