Editorial policy

Select Cricket Guide aims to make cricket easier to understand while being clear about what an article can and cannot establish. We value accurate explanations, visible corrections and clear labels for material created with partners.

Accuracy and context

We check explanations against suitable published material and take care to distinguish a general account of cricket from the conditions of a particular competition. Rules and playing conditions can change or vary. When a detail depends on an official version, we say so rather than imply that one explanation applies everywhere. We avoid claims we cannot support and make uncertainty plain.

Independence

Editorial coverage is shaped by the subject and reader interest, not by a promise of favourable treatment. A commercial relationship does not entitle a partner to an unlabelled recommendation or editorial control. We identify material written or presented in collaboration, and separate it clearly from independent editorial coverage.

Corrections

If you spot an error, use the Contact page and identify the article and disputed detail. We review correction requests, amend confirmed mistakes and make significant changes clear to readers. We do not promise that every disagreement is an error, but we do take specific, well-explained reports seriously.

Illustrations

Some illustrations may be generated with artificial intelligence. Where that is the case, we label the illustration so readers can distinguish it from documentary imagery. Illustrations are not evidence of a real match, player or event unless their context explicitly says otherwise.
