The contributors all share a common love for the beautiful game and take pride in delivering content to cricket-crazy fans around the globe. Here are three main contributors on the website.

Charbel Coorey

Charbel, who lives in Sydney, launched cricblog.net in 2019 to fulfill his passion for cricket. Charbel played cricket right throughout his teenage years, and was proud to represent Fairfield Liverpool in Sydney Grade Cricket in the early 2010s.

Unfortunately, injuries took their toll and Charbel could no longer play. With over a decade of experience in marketing & communications, Charbel saw an opportunity to combine his passion for cricket with his passion for content creation, and thus, CricBlog was born.

Under Charbel’s leadership, CricBlog has reached millions of fans around the globe with a range of different content. Also, the platform now has over 17,200 followers on X (formerly Twitter) and a podcast called The CricBlog Podcast with weekly episodes. Find out more about the podcast.
