Editorial policy

Urban Cricket Guide aims to make cricket easier to understand through accurate, clearly framed explanations. Readers should be able to tell what an article is explaining, where a point needs qualification and how to raise a correction.

Accuracy and clarity

We check factual claims against relevant, reliable material before publication and take care to distinguish the Laws of Cricket from playing conditions or the practices of a particular competition. Articles should define specialised language and avoid presenting interpretation as settled fact. When a topic depends on a specific format or context, we say so.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions remain separate from commercial arrangements. Any paid, gifted or otherwise supported material will be clearly labelled where it appears, so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial coverage. Partner placements will also be identified clearly and will not determine our conclusions.

Corrections

If a reader identifies a possible error, we review the point and correct the article when warranted. A correction should make clear what was changed and why when the change affects a reader’s understanding. Send the article title and the detail in question through the Contact page.

Illustrations

Some illustrations may be generated with artificial intelligence. Illustrations are used to support understanding, not as documentary evidence of a real match, player or event.
