Trust is the single most important factor in our relationship with readers.
Below is a snapshot of the practices that help us deliver transparent, data‑driven, and fair cricket‑prediction content every day.
1. How We Operate
- Funding – The site is free to use. It is supported by display advertising and a small number of brand partnerships. Advertisers have no say in our editorial calls or prediction models.
- Mission – Give fans quick, clear insights that turn raw match data into easy‑to‑use predictions—without hype, click‑bait, or paid tips.
2. Editorial Standards
- Independence – Editors make final decisions; sponsors cannot veto or modify coverage.
- Accuracy First – We double‑check team news, stats, and pitch/weather data before each post.
- Corrections – Any factual error is fixed fast and tagged with the date/time of correction.
3. Author Expertise
- Every story carries the author’s name plus a link to a short bio that lists their cricket background (playing, coaching, data analytics, or journalism).
- New contributors undergo a trial period and submit sample analyses reviewed by senior editors.
4. Clear Content Labels
- Label What It Means
- News Straight facts (squads, schedules, official updates)
- Analysis Deeper dives into stats, match‑ups, and tactics
- Prediction Our probability call on toss or winner
- Opinion Personal viewpoints, clearly sign‑posted
- Partner Post Sponsored piece; always disclosed at the top
5. Source Transparency
We cite official boards, verified team accounts, recognised databases (e.g., ESPNcricinfo), and on‑ground reporters.
For exclusive tips, we note “TMP source” and require a second verification before publishing.
6. Data & Methods Explained
- For major tournaments, we publish short “How We Model” notes outlining:
- Which datasets feed the model (venue averages, power‑play runs, death‑overs economy, etc.)
- The weighting of recent form vs. historical records
- Limitations—what the model does not account for (e.g., sudden injuries at toss time)
7. Local & Diverse Voices
Writers based in India, Australia, England, Pakistan, and the Caribbean contribute match previews, giving us ground‑level context from multiple regions.
We actively scout voices from women’s cricket and associate nations to broaden perspectives.
8. Community Feedback
- Comment zones under key articles and on our social handles are open for constructive debate.
- Readers can flag corrections or suggest coverage priorities by emailing feedback@theindiacricket.com.
- Quarterly surveys let fans vote on which leagues or features we should add next.
By following these Trust Indicators, The india cricket aims to stay transparent, accountable, and worthy of your time—so you can read, decide, and enjoy cricket with confidence.
