CricBlog, one of the world’s most exciting up-and-coming Cricket Blogs, is dedicated to delivering accurate and up-to-date information to our readers all over the world. CricBlog’s editorial policy outlines the standards we follow to ensure the quality and reliability of all the content on the website.

Fact-Checking for Accuracy

All information is fact-checked for accuracy before publishing. Our team of writers and editors ensure that:

  • Facts, quotes, and statements are backed up with references to original sources.
  • Any primary research or interviews conducted by CricBlog is clearly defined as CricBlog’s own content.
  • Cricket statistics such as matchups and head-to-head records are checked against trustworthy and authoritative sources such as ESPNcricinfo and Cricmetric.

Use of References

CricBlog ensures that:

  • Original sources are referenced when stating facts, quotes, and statements. Wherever possible, CricBlog will link to the source in question to add further context for readers.
  • News pieces are cited with the appropriate references.

Primary Research

CricBlog is committed to providing engaging content that stems from our own primary research and activities. These include:

  • Conducting interviews with cricketers on the official CricBlog TV YouTube channel and then publishing stories on the website.
  • Engaging fans in surveys and polls around some of the biggest topics in cricket, including where the future of the sport is headed. Fans’ responses are kept anonymous and are presented in articles and infographics. Check out our future of cricket content.

We adhere to the following guidelines:

  • All research methods are clearly defined to the readers.
