Write for us
We welcome pitches that make a part of cricket clearer, more interesting or easier to follow. A strong proposal has a precise question, a distinct angle and a clear sense of what a reader will understand by the end.
What we are looking for
Ideas may explain a rule or technique, compare formats or equipment, explore the history of a cricket custom, or help readers notice how a playing place shapes a match. We value specific, evergreen subjects that can be handled with care and without relying on unsupported claims or access to confidential material.
Make the pitch focused
Send a working title, a short summary of the central idea, the intended reader and a few lines about how you would approach it. Tell us what makes the subject distinct from familiar explainers, and note any specialist terms or uncertainties that need careful context.
Send a proposal
Use the Contact page and choose the editorial question option to send your proposal. Please pitch the idea before submitting a complete article; we cannot promise publication or a response by a particular date.
Cricket is one game, many ways to play it
We look beyond the score to the formats, skills, objects and traditions that help explain cricket across its different settings.
