Editorial team and writing process

Our editorial team is 4 staff journalists, 3 of whom have played state-level cricket. The team is led by the Head of Content (currently Pranav R., one of the co-founders). Every blog post goes through a 3-step editorial process: draft by the assigned writer, fact-check by a second editor, and a final read by the Head of Content. Posts are typically drafted on Friday, fact-checked on Sunday, and published on Monday or Wednesday.

We do not accept guest posts, sponsored content, or AI-generated articles. Every post is wri

tten by a named staff member, and the author is listed at the bottom of each post. If we make a factual error, we correct it within 24 hours and add a correction note at the top of the post. We do not delete posts after publication, even if the post's conclusion turns out to be wrong — we add a correction note instead.
