Editorial Standards

CrickCore exists to give cricket fans fast, accurate information. These are the standards we hold our coverage to — how we source it, how we check it, how we use AI responsibly, and how we fix mistakes when we get something wrong.

• Where our information comes from

  Live scores, scorecards, commentary, rankings, fixtures and squads come from licensed live-cricket data feeds. For news and analysis, we rely on primary and reputable secondary sources — official boards (BCCI, ICC, ECB, Cricket Australia and others) and established outlets such as ESPNcricinfo and Cricbuzz. We aggregate and explain; original announcements belong to those sources.

• How we use AI

  Some of our explainer and news articles are drafted with AI assistance to cover more ground, then edited and fact-checked before publishing. AI is a drafting tool, not the final word: we do not publish claims we cannot tie back to a real source. Every AI-assisted article carries a visible disclosure, and a contact address to report any inaccuracy.

• Fact-checking

  Scores, statistics, dates, records and rule references are checked against official sources before an article goes live. Articles that cannot be supported by a credible source are held back for review rather than published. We attribute claims to named sources rather than vague "sources say" phrasing.

• Editorial independence

  CrickCore is not affiliated with any cricket board, league, team or broadcaster. We choose what to cover based on what fans actually search for and read, not on commercial or promotional pressure. We do not accept payment to alter facts or rankings.
