Write for us

We welcome thoughtful contributions that help readers follow cricket more closely. Proposals should make one clear subject understandable without assuming specialist knowledge or relying on a current match result.

Ideas that fit

We consider pitches about cricket’s laws, tactics, formats, equipment and traditions. A strong idea begins with a focused question: what does the reader want to understand, and what will the piece explain that a general introduction would miss? Distinctive angles and careful comparisons are welcome; familiar topics need a fresh, specific purpose.

A clear, considered pitch

Send a short proposal through the Contact page. Explain the central idea, the intended reader and the shape of the piece, and mention any sources or expertise needed to handle it responsibly. We value accurate terminology, original writing and a fair account of where a rule, interpretation or tradition may need context.

Editorial approach

Contributions are edited for clarity, accuracy and consistency with the publication’s voice. A pitch is a proposal, not a promise of publication. Please do not send a complete draft unless it has been requested; proposals and questions belong in the Contact page form.
