Editorial team

The desk does not publish individual biographies for team members. Editorial authority comes from the publication's sourcing rules and the public corrections log, not from individual credentials.

How the desk handles bylines
The desk handles bylines by attributing pieces to 'the Fantasy Cricket Live desk' unless the piece is a guest contribution or a syndicated piece. The attribution is stable across the archive; the desk does not retroactively change attribution when team composition changes.

How to contact a specific editor
Readers who want to contact a specific editor can route the inquiry via the contact page. The contact form includes a field for the editor's name where relevant; otherwise, the inquiry is routed to the editor who handles the relevant topic.
The desk does not publish individual email addresses for editors. Readers who want a private channel for sensitive tips can use the contact form and note the sensitivity in the message; the desk will respond via a private channel.
How the desk handles conflicts of interest
The desk handles conflicts of interest by being transparent about the editorial scope and the funding model. Desk members do not have financial exposure to any fantasy operator, team, or tournament. The publication does not accept payment for coverage, does not run sponsored picks, and does not link to operators in exchange for compensation.
Where a desk member has a personal connection to a player, team, or tournament that could affect coverage, the connection is disclosed on the relevant article.
How the desk handles corrections to bylines
The desk does not retroactively change bylines when team composition changes. A piece attributed to 'the Fantasy Cricket Live desk' remains attributed to the desk, even if the editor who wrote the piece has since left. This is the desk's working rule — the audit chain is anchored to the desk, not to individual team members.
Where a piece is a guest contribution, the guest's byline remains on the piece indefinitely. The desk does not remove guest bylines when the guest moves on.
How the desk's editorial team works
The desk's editorial team works on a rotating coverage schedule. The live desk publishes daily during active franchise windows; the predictions desk publishes per-fixture; the teams and players desks update when the squad, role hierarchy, or fixture list changes. The strategy guides hub is durable — pieces there are updated when the underlying principle changes.
The desk's editorial team does not include freelancers or paid contributors. Every piece on the desk is written by a member of the editorial team, unless the piece is clearly marked as a guest contribution.
A note on the desk's editorial voice
The desk's editorial voice is professional and audience-focused. The voice avoids phrases that remind readers they are reading a website ('this page', 'this section', 'on this page you will learn'). The voice begins each piece with valuable information that matches the page topic.
The desk's editorial voice is not a marketing voice. The voice does not promise outcomes, does not use urgency cues, and does not use promotional language. The voice is calibrated for readers who want useful information, not for readers who want to be sold something.
A note on the desk's editorial cadence
The desk's editorial cadence 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 cadence is documented on the about page. Readers who want to know when new content lands can subscribe to the briefing or check the live desk for the latest coverage.
How the desk handles turnover
The desk handles turnover by anchoring the byline to 'the Fantasy Cricket Live desk' rather than to individual team members. A piece attributed to the desk remains attributed to the desk, even if the editor who wrote the piece has since left. This is the desk's working rule — the audit chain is anchored to the desk, not to individuals.
Where a piece is a guest contribution, the guest's byline remains on the piece indefinitely. The desk does not remove guest bylines when the guest moves on. The audit chain for a guest contribution is anchored to the guest, not the desk.

A note on the desk's editorial review process

The review process is documented on the editorial policy page. Readers who want to understand the review process can read the editorial policy page directly.
A note on the desk's editorial coverage of team and tournament news
The desk's editorial coverage of team and tournament news is anchored to the editorial scope. The desk covers squad structure, role hierarchy, tactical shifts, and upcoming fixtures.

Where a piece of team or tournament news falls outside the editorial scope, the desk does not publish the piece. The editorial scope is the boundary that defines what the desk covers.
