Our Mission
CricketCore Was Built Because Indian Cricket Deserved Better.
Cricket is the most-played sport in India and one of the most under-served when it comes to genuinely useful coaching content online. Open any search result and you'll find surface-level explainers, recycled scoreboards, and sponsored buyer's guides — almost nothing written from a coaching perspective for the player who wants to actually improve.
We started CricketCore in 2024 to fill that gap. Every piece of content we publish is designed to answer one question: "How does this make me a better cricketer tomorrow?" If it doesn't, we don't publish it.

Our Editorial Standards
Every article on CricketCore is written to a minimum of 1,500 words, structured with proper H2/H3 hierarchy, and reviewed by a coach for technical accuracy before publication. We do not run match reports, scores, or news. We do not publish sponsored articles disguised as editorial. Equipment reviews are independent — they always will be.
Our writers are required to cite sources where applicable, distinguish between established technique and emerging opinion, and acknowledge uncertainty rather than oversimplifying complex topics. If a batting method has three legitimate schools of thought, we present all three — not just the one that makes for a catchy headline.
Who We Write For
CricketCore is written for serious cricketers — school and college players who want to push on, club cricketers chasing state selection, parents trying to understand the academy system, and coaches who want a reliable second opinion. The content assumes a baseline of cricket literacy and goes deep where most sites stay shallow.
We also write for the growing community of cricket fitness enthusiasts, data-driven players exploring analytics, and young athletes navigating the business side of the sport through our career guidance content.
Our Methodology
Before any article is commissioned, we ask three questions: Is this topic genuinely under-served online? Can we add original insight rather than repackaging existing content? Will a reader finish the article knowing something they didn't know before?
Our research process involves reviewing contemporary coaching literature, interviewing active players and coaches, analysing video footage, and where relevant, consulting sports science research. We do not publish listicles generated for search traffic. Every guide is built to be referenced, not just scanned.
Why We Avoid Match Reports
India already has dozens of excellent sources for cricket news, scores, and match analysis. Adding another voice to that chorus would not serve our readers. Our focus is on the permanent skills of cricket — the techniques, fitness principles, and mental frameworks that outlast any single match or tournament.
Advertising and Independence
CricketCore is supported by advertising and affiliate partnerships. We are transparent about these relationships. When we recommend equipment, we disclose affiliate links. When we review a product, the manufacturer has no editorial input and no preview of the review. Our editorial team operates independently of our commercial relationships.
What We Stand For
Player-First
Every decision we make starts with the player at the centre. Not advertisers, not algorithms, not trends.
No Compromise on Accuracy
We would rather publish less frequently than put out technically incorrect or superficial coaching advice.
Depth Over Volume
One 3,000-word guide that genuinely helps a player improve is worth more than ten shallow explainers.
Independent Reviews
Our equipment and gear reviews are never influenced by manufacturers. We buy products anonymously where possible.
Community Driven
We listen to our readers. Article ideas, feedback, and corrections from the community shape our editorial calendar.
Made for India
Our context, examples, and recommendations are built for Indian conditions, academies, and domestic structures.
Our Team
Editor & Lead Writer
Arjun Sharma
Cricket Coach & Content Writer
Former age-group cricketer turned coach. Writes and reviews every guide on CricketCore in collaboration with a small panel of state-level players. Holds a BCCI Level 1 coaching certification and has worked with academy players across Delhi and Haryana.
Fitness Contributor
Rahul Kumar
Strength & Conditioning Coach
NSCA-certified strength coach with 8 years of experience working with professional and semi-professional cricketers. Specialises in periodised training programmes and injury prevention for fast bowlers.
Analytics Contributor
Vikram Patel
Performance Analyst
Data scientist and former club cricketer. Brings a quantitative lens to batting and bowling analysis, helping players understand their game through metrics that actually matter at the domestic level.
Where We Are Headed
CricketCore is still young, but our ambitions are long-term. Over the next two years, we plan to expand our fitness content into structured training programmes, add video demonstrations for technical guides, and build a community platform where players and coaches can share drills, ask questions, and learn from each other.
We are also exploring partnerships with established cricket academies to create location-specific guidance that accounts for regional coaching styles and local conditions — because cricket in Chennai is not played the same way as cricket in Chandigarh.
None of this changes our core commitment: every piece of content must earn its place on the page. If it doesn't help a cricketer improve, it doesn't get published.
