The india cricket is run by cricket lovers who want to give fans clear, timely and trustworthy match insights. The guidelines below explain how we gather information, write stories and keep ourselves accountable. They apply to every preview, analysis piece and update published on our site.
1. Editorial Independence
No outside influence
Content decisions are made only by our editors and writers. Advertisers, betting partners or sponsors never decide what we publish or how we frame it.
Conflict of interest checks
Team members must tell the editor if they have personal or financial ties that could affect coverage. When a potential conflict exists, another writer is assigned or a disclosure note is added.
2. Accuracy First
Double‑source rule
We verify key facts (team news, injury status, playing XI, pitch and weather data) with at least two reputable sources such as official boards, accredited reporters or live‑feed providers.
Data transparency
Important numbers behind a prediction—head‑to‑head records, venue averages, recent form—are either linked to or clearly explained inside the piece.
Rumour filter
Tips seen only on social media are flagged as “unconfirmed” until confirmed by an official statement or a second reliable outlet.
3. Clear Content Labels
- News: factual updates about squads, schedules or events
- Analysis: deeper dives that explain trends or tactics
- Prediction: probability calls and match winner/toss insights
- Opinion: personal viewpoints, clearly marked
- Partner Content: paid articles or advertorials, noted at the top
4. Corrections and Updates
Quick fixes
Typos or minor numeric errors are edited as soon as found; the page shows the latest time‑stamp.
Material changes
If a headline fact is wrong (e.g., misquoted score, inaccurate injury news), we add a “Correction” box at the end of the article explaining what changed and when.
5. Source Attribution
Direct quotes link to the original video, social feed or press release whenever possible.
Anonymous sources are used only when the information is crucial and cannot be obtained on record; at least two editors must approve inclusion.
6. Ethical Standards
- No plagiarism—every story is checked with plagiarism‑detection tools.
- Respect for all readers and subjects—no discriminatory or derogatory language.
- Sensitive topics such as match‑fixing allegations or player health issues are handled with extra care, relying on official confirmations before publication.
7. Diversity and Inclusion
We aim to cover women’s cricket, associate nations and emerging leagues alongside high‑profile events. Voices from different regions and backgrounds are invited for guest analyses.
8. Reader Engagement
Comment sections and email feedback are monitored daily.
Suggestions or error flags sent to feedback@theindiacricket.com receive an initial response within 24 hours.
9. Privacy and Data
Personal information collected through comments or newsletter sign‑ups is stored securely and never sold. Details are outlined in our Privacy Policy.
10. Continuous Review
Editors hold a monthly audit of random articles to check compliance with this policy. Findings are used to improve training and workflows.
By following these News Policies and Standards, The india cricket aims to remain a reliable companion for every cricket fan who wants honest predictions and well‑checked information. For questions about these guidelines, please contact editor@theindiacricket.com.
