The byline on this site. Cricket pages, written so a table is not the only sentence.

Saleem Sial writes about cricket competitions the way a reader actually uses them: who is playing, when the ball is timed, which number is real, and which number is a rumour wearing a table. The work sits in that gap between a scoreboard and a press release.

On this site the subject is only the Afghanistan Premier League. That means the 2018 season in Sharjah, the 2026 restart, the draft, and the difference between a city and a franchise. It does not mean a tour of every other league, except where a comparison earns its place.

Corrections are part of the job. If a captain moves or a ground is named, the page should move the same day, and the “last updated” line should say so. The address is on the contact page. The method is the editorial policy.
