About Us: Cricketide and Our Approach to Cricket
Cricket is played and loved in more places than most coverage ever admits. A World Cup final gets wall to wall attention, but a Test between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, or a WPL playoff, often gets a fraction of the words it deserves. Cricketide starts from a simple idea. Every format, every nation, and every gender playing this sport deserves the same depth of reporting. This is where that coverage begins.
What Is Cricketide
Cricketide is a cricket publication built to cover the full width of the sport, not just its biggest headlines. That means Test cricket sits next to T20 leagues, associate nations get the same fact checking as full members, and women’s cricket is covered as cricket, not as a side note. The aim is simple. Give readers analysis and reporting they can actually trust, on whichever part of the game they follow.
Our Vision for the Game
The vision behind Cricketide is straightforward. Cricket doesn’t need another site chasing search trends around three or four big teams. It needs coverage that treats the USA’s rise, Nepal’s fanbase, and Namibia’s associate cricket with the same seriousness as an Ashes series. Good analysis should hold up regardless of which country’s fans are reading it, and that’s the standard every piece is written to.
What We Cover
Cricketide’s scope runs across the whole sport, not a slice of it.
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| International | Test, ODI, and T20I cricket, full members and associates |
| Franchise leagues | IPL, BBL, PSL, CPL, SA20, ILT20, Major League Cricket, The Hundred |
| Domestic cricket | Ranji Trophy, County Championship, Sheffield Shield, and equivalents |
| Women’s cricket | International, WPL, Women’s Big Bash, domestic women’s competitions |
| Associate nations | USA, Netherlands, Scotland, UAE, Nepal, Namibia, and others |
Each of these gets its own dedicated reporting, not occasional mentions when a bigger story needs a comparison point.
No Clickbait, No Shortcuts
Cricketide doesn’t run headlines designed to bait a click and then fail to deliver. Every article is built to answer exactly what a reader searched for, whether that’s a fixture, a player’s form, or how a rule actually works. Statistics and records are sourced from official bodies like the ICC, national boards, or established cricket outlets, never invented or guessed at. Where something is opinion or prediction, it’s labelled as opinion. Where it’s fact, it’s checked before it’s published.
That distinction matters more than it sounds. Cricket writing is full of confident sounding claims that turn out to be nobody’s actual view, just phrased like fact. Cricketide keeps those separate on purpose, because readers deserve to know which is which.
A Publication Built Around the Whole Sport, Not Its Loudest Corners
Cricketide exists because cricket is bigger than the handful of storylines that usually dominate the conversation. The plan going forward is coverage that treats every format, every nation, and every gender with equal depth, backed by verified sourcing rather than recycled headlines. Readers following an associate nation’s qualifying campaign should find the same standard here as fans following an IPL final. That’s the bar this publication is being held to, from the first article onward.
