So can we clarify if first initial is allowed?
Because when a couple of us tried to clarify on page 2 it was common name or Cricinfo profile name, which are almost always the same.
Statsguru name/first initial was suggested earlier.

For example my reading of the rules was that
Ranjitsinhji/Ranji would be allowed but Edward Dexter not because his Cricinfo profile heading is Ted Dexter.

Shouldn't official names be allowed?? Edward is his official name and he is listed as such in statsguru, ER Dexter. My reading was common name like Ted Dexter/Ranjitsinhji and official name like Edward Dexter/Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji both will be allowed

Ted is a nickname, Edward should definitely be allowed

Both Ranjitsinghji and Edward Dexter are fine.

Ranji is fine as that is how his actual name starts.

I just went to Ted Dexter's cricinfo profile and checked full name. It says Edward Ralph Dexter. So both Ted Dexter (common name) and Edward Ralph Dexter (actual name) is allowed. Hope this clarifies.

I had thought this but then thought I just hadn't understood the rules.
