Editorial policy

1. Facts, sources and verification

• Fixtures (dates, venues, start times) come from BCCI's official announcements and match centre, and we link to them. When BCCI changes a fixture, we update the page and say what changed and when.
• Venue facts (capacity, ends, history) come from BCCI's venue guide where it covers the ground, otherwise from other public reference sources, which we name on the page.
• Weather and dew indicators are our own calculations from Open-Meteo's ERA5 reanalysis archive. We explain the method on each page. They describe typical conditions, not a forecast.
• Match data (squads, scorecards, statistics) will come only from licensed data providers or official releases. We do not scrape or copy text from other cricket websites such as Cricbuzz or ESPNcricinfo.
• If we cannot verify something, we don't publish it. We don't invent statistics, quotes or injury news.

2. Opinion is labelled

Team, captain and vice-captain suggestions are opinions. Each one states its reason (role, batting position, overs, conditions, matchup), so readers can judge the reasoning. Phrases like "our view" or "general judgement" mark opinion on our pages. We never describe a pick as "sure", "guaranteed" or a way to win money.

3. Use of AI tools

We use AI tools to help with research checklists, data summaries, first drafts, translation between English and Hindi, and proofreading. Every fact is checked against its cited source before publication, and the publisher is responsible for everything we publish. We do not mass-produce near-identical pages for keywords. We publish fewer pages, and each one has to say something useful.

4. Updates and corrections

Match briefs change as information arrives: a preview, then an update after the toss, then a short review. Each page shows when it was last updated. Errors are corrected promptly. Report one to dingguoshengai@gmail.com.

5. Independence

• No contests, prizes, redeemable rewards or entry fees.
• No links, ads, affiliate deals, referral codes or sponsored content for real-money gaming, betting or fantasy platforms, and no calls to action to join or deposit on any of them. Online money games and their advertisement are prohibited in India under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 (see the disclaimer).
• No "win money" or "guaranteed team" language.
• No use of BCCI, IPL, ICC or team logos or trademarks as branding, and no unlicensed match footage or player photographs. Our graphics are our own.
• If we ever carry advertising or affiliate links for other products, they will be labelled and will never involve real-money gaming.

6. Language

English and Hindi versions cover the same facts. The Hindi edition is written for natural reading, not as a word-for-word translation.
