About the desk

About Fantasy Cricket Live

An independent editorial desk covering fantasy cricket — who runs it, what we publish, and the boundaries we keep.

What we publish and how often

The desk publishes on a working cadence that varies with the tournament calendar. During active franchise windows, the live desk publishes daily; the predictions desk publishes per-fixture; the teams and players desks update when the squad, role hierarchy, or fixture list changes. Off-season, the cadence slows to weekly editorial roundups. The strategy guides hub is durable — pieces there are updated when the underlying principle changes, not on a fixed schedule.

Readers who want to know when new content lands can subscribe to the newsletter. We do not run a separate RSS feed for each desk; the site-wide RSS feed at /rss.xml surfaces new pieces within minutes of publication.

How to engage with the desk

Readers can engage with the desk in three ways: by reading the daily coverage on the live desk and the predictions desk; by submitting tips and corrections via the contact page; and by responding to the methodology pieces in the strategy guides hub. We read every tip and respond within 48 hours on working days. Corrections are published in the public corrections log.

We do not run a reader forum, do not host comments on articles, and do not maintain a Discord or Telegram channel. The desk's editorial scope is the published coverage — the work that goes into each piece is the desk's primary engagement with readers.

What we don't do

The desk does not run a fantasy platform, does not host contests, does not take deposits, does not pay out winnings, and does not sell picks. The desk's editorial scope is reporting, predictions, and strategy explainers for fantasy-cricket readers. Where the desk names a player or a tournament, the relevance is editorial, not commercial.

The desk also does not publish content that exposes the website's internal organisation to readers. Phrases like 'this page', 'this article', 'our hub', or 'this section' do not appear in the desk's writing. The desk begins each piece with valuable information that matches the page topic.

Why we are independent

Editorial independence is the foundation of the desk's work. We do not accept payment for coverage, do not run sponsored picks, and do not link to operators in exchange for compensation. Where the desk names a player or a tournament, the relevance is editorial, not commercial.

The desk's funding model is documented on the editorial policy page and the public operator note. Readers who want to verify the funding model can read those pages directly.

A short history of the desk

The desk launched in July 2026 as an independent editorial publication covering fantasy cricket. The founding team came from cricket journalism and statistical analysis backgrounds; the publication was set up to address what the team saw as a gap in the market — pre-match reporting that was actually grounded in fixtures and conditions, a prediction desk that put its calls on the record and reviewed them afterwards, and strategy explainers that were not dressed-up tip sheets.

The desk's coverage has grown since launch to include eight editorial hubs and a news desk. The team has expanded to include additional reporters, statisticians, and editors. The editorial scope remains the same: reporting, predictions, and strategy explainers for fantasy-cricket readers.

A note on the desk's editorial standards

The desk's editorial standards are documented on the editorial policy page. The standards cover sourcing, prediction archiving, conflicts of interest, update policy, and reader tips. Readers who want to understand the desk's working rules can read the editorial policy page directly.

The standards are enforced by the editorial workflow. A piece that does not meet the standards is not published; a piece that meets the standards is published with the appropriate attribution and timestamp.

A note on the desk's commitment

The desk is committed to publishing reporting, predictions, and strategy explainers that are useful to fantasy-cricket readers. The desk's editorial scope is narrow on purpose — the desk does not run a fantasy platform, does not host contests, does not take deposits, does not pay out winnings, and does not sell picks. The narrow scope allows the desk to focus on the work that readers actually find useful: pre-match briefings that are grounded in fixtures and conditions, predictions that are time-stamped and reviewed, and strategy explainers that are durable across tournaments.

The desk's commitment is to the reader. Where the desk gets a piece wrong, the desk publishes a correction. Where the desk's methodology is challenged, the desk engages with the challenge. Where the desk's coverage has a gap, the desk fills the gap. The commitment is operational, not aspirational — it is enforced by the editorial workflow.
