CREX - Editorial Policy

Crex content is produced by a team of sports journalists, data analysts, and subject-matter specialists with experience in cricket and global sport. Our editorial operations are led by an Managing Editor who holds overall responsibility for the standards and integrity of all content published on the platform.

• News articles and match reports are written by staff journalists and credited contributors.
• Analysis and opinion pieces carry a named byline and are clearly labelled so you always know you are reading someone's informed perspective, not a statement of fact.
• Data-driven content — including statistics, rankings, and visualisations — is produced or reviewed by our data team and sourced from verified, licensed data providers.
• Short-form video scripts, voiceovers, and app content are reviewed by an editor before publication.

We also work with external contributors, columnists, and freelance journalists. All contributors are expected to meet the same editorial standards as our staff team. Contributed content is reviewed by an editor before publication and carries the contributor's name.

Crex is committed to transparent authorship. All articles published on our platform carry a byline identifying the author or the Crex editorial desk. Opinion and analysis pieces are always attributed to a named author. We do not publish anonymous editorial content.

• Every factual claim in our content must be verifiable and must be cross-referenced against a credible source before publication.
• Match statistics and scores are sourced from official, licensed data feeds. Our data team reviews significant discrepancies before they reach readers.
• Player quotes and official statements are attributed to their original source. We do not paraphrase quotes without making clear that we have done so.
• Where a story is developing and full verification is pending, we clearly label it as a 'Developing Story' or 'Unconfirmed Report' so you know exactly where the information stands.

Not all sources are equal. We apply the following hierarchy when verifying information:

Not everything you read on Crex is a statement of fact — and we want to be upfront about that. Here is how we label different types of content:

• Our live scores and ball-by-ball data are powered by licensed feeds from official, authorised data providers. These feeds are updated in real time as events occur on the field.
• Our editorial team monitors live coverage actively. Where a data feed discrepancy is detected, our team investigates and corrects the relevant data as quickly as possible.
• During major matches, a dedicated duty editor oversees live coverage and is responsible for approving any breaking updates before they are published.

Please Note: Live sports data is inherently time-sensitive. Scores, statistics, and updates may occasionally reflect a brief delay from official feeds or a temporary discrepancy that is corrected as play progresses. We make every reasonable effort to ensure accuracy, but brief, technical data delays are a known feature of live sports coverage across all platforms.

• Significant events during a match — such as player injuries, DRS decisions, or disciplinary matters — are reported as they happen, but our first priority is accuracy.
• We will always tell you what is confirmed and what is still being verified. We do not report unconfirmed developments as fact during live coverage.
• All push notification alerts relating to live events must be approved by the duty editor before they are sent.

• Correcting the article as quickly as possible — within 15 minutes for live content errors
• Adding a clearly visible correction note to the article, describing what was wrong and what the accurate information is
• Timestamping every correction so you can see exactly when it was made
• Never deleting an error silently — the correction must always be visible to readers
• Issuing a follow-up correction on the same channel (push notification or social media) if the original error was distributed that way

Correction Format: CORRECTION [DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM IST]: An earlier version of this article stated [what was incorrect]. This has been updated to reflect [accurate information]. We regret the error.

In rare cases where an article contains errors so significant that a correction is insufficient, we will retract the piece entirely. A retraction notice will be published in place of the original article, explaining why the content was withdrawn. Retractions are approved by our Managing Editor.

When a developing story changes — for example, when initial information is superseded by official confirmation — we update the article and note the update clearly with an 'Updated [date/time]' label at the top of the piece.

• AOpinion pieces and columns represent the personal views of the named author. They do not represent the editorial position of Crex or Parthtech LLP.
• All opinion content carries a named byline and a clear label — OPINION or COLUMN — at the top of the piece.
• Opinion pieces must still be grounded in accurate facts. Our editors review all opinion content for factual accuracy before publication, even where the conclusions are subjective.
• Criticism of teams, players, or administrators in opinion pieces must be fair, proportionate, and grounded in what can be evidenced.

• Predictions — including match outcome forecasts, player performance projections, and fantasy recommendations — are clearly labelled as speculative.
• No prediction published on Crex should be interpreted as a guarantee of outcome.
• Predictive content is intended for the purpose of analysis and engagement. It does not constitute financial, investment, or betting advice.
• Crex does not endorse or encourage gambling.

7.3 Fantasy Sports Content

Fantasy tab insights, recommendations, and team-building tools on Crex are informational in nature. They are designed to help you make your own decisions. They do not guarantee player performance, match outcomes, or any financial return. Crex fantasy content is not financial advice.

• Live scores, player statistics, and match records are sourced from licensed third-party data providers and official governing body feeds.
• We use automated data feeds for live content. Our editorial team monitors for discrepancies and corrects them when identified.
• Historical statistics and records are cross-referenced against recognised authoritative sources before publication.

• All graphs, infographics, and data visualisations published on Crex accurately represent the underlying data. We do not distort scale, omit material context, or frame data in a misleading way.
• The source of the data behind a visualisation is credited within or adjacent to the visual.

• Any statistics, quotes, or data sourced from third parties are attributed to their origin. We do not present third-party findings as our own.
