His domestic figures generally outpace his single international cap. A List A haul of 7 for 29 at age 19, and match figures of 11 for 87 against Middlesex at Lord's, both point to a bowler whose county numbers exceed his international opportunities, which is a fairly common pattern in county cricket.

In practice, his batting is a supporting role. He's selected for his bowling, and a tail-order average confirms that his value sits with the ball, not the bat.

T20 League Numbers

Wickets and economy shift by tournament. In the Vitality Blast, his home competition with Gloucestershire, he has 210 wickets at an economy of 7.82 across 156 matches.

In the ILT20 with Desert Vipers, that's 27 wickets in 17 matches at an economy of 8.10. His IPL sample is small, two matches with Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2026, cut short by an ankle injury.

Across those 7 games, he totaled 4 points and 4 rebounds. In practice, a seven-game sample like this reflects a fringe roster spot rather than a rotation role, which is common for short call-ups at that level. No public source explains why his NBA run ended there, so nothing further is claimed beyond the box score.

David Payne's College Hockey Stats

This David Payne, born 1995 in Dallas, Texas, played defense for Penn State Berks in the ACHA, a club-level college league rather than NCAA Division I. He's listed as retired.

In practice, low point totals like these are typical of a depth defenseman rather than an offensive contributor, and the role usually shows up more in ice time than in the scoresheet.

The source database itself flags this profile as possibly outdated, so treat these figures as the best available record rather than a confirmed final one.
