Editorial policy

Curious Cricket Guide aims to make cricket easier to follow without making the game seem simpler than it is. We explain our terms, distinguish established rules from interpretation and correct mistakes plainly.

Accuracy and context

We take care to describe cricket's laws, formats and customs accurately and to make clear what a rule does and does not say. Where a subject has changed over time or can be understood in more than one way, we will give that context rather than present a single interpretation as universal.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions are made for readers, not as a condition of a commercial relationship. Any paid, sponsored or partner material will be clearly labelled so readers can distinguish it from editorial content. We do not imply that a partner endorses our editorial work.

Corrections and illustrations

If you spot an error, contact us with the relevant page and a description of the issue. We review correction requests and make appropriate changes clearly. Some illustrations may be generated with AI; where used, they will be identified as AI-generated and will not be presented as documentary photographs.
