At The Live Cricket Score, we are committed to publishing accurate, verified, and trustworthy cricket content. Whether it’s live match updates, news stories, player statistics, or editorial features, we follow a rigorous fact-checking process to ensure credibility and prevent the spread of misinformation. This Fact-Check Policy outlines the steps we take to verify our content and maintain editorial integrity.
1. Purpose of Fact-Checking
Our primary goal is to ensure that all published information is factually accurate and free from misleading or false claims. Given the fast-paced nature of live sports and viral news, we understand the importance of double-checking facts before sharing them with our readers.
2. Sources We Use
We rely on a range of reputable and verified sources to gather and validate information. These include:
- Official cricket boards (BCCI, ICC, ECB, etc.)
- Verified social media handles of teams, players, and officials
- Live match feeds from official broadcasters and scoring services
- Press releases and media briefings from cricket authorities
- Reputed news agencies and sports journalists
- We avoid using anonymous or unverified sources unless the information is corroborated by multiple credible outlets.
3. Fact-Checking Procedure
Before any article, score update, or news story is published, it goes through the following process:
- Initial Research
- The writer gathers facts and data from primary sources and official statements.
- Verification by Editors
- Our editorial team cross-checks information using independent sources and ensures the data matches with official or widely accepted reports.
Context Review
Facts are reviewed in the proper context to avoid misrepresentation or sensationalism.
Final Approval
The content is approved for publication only after it meets our editorial and factual standards.
4. Handling Misinformation
If incorrect information is identified—either by our team or reported by a reader—we take immediate steps to address it:
- The content is reviewed and updated with the correct information.
- A correction note is added to the article, if the error was significant.
- We issue clarifications when earlier content may have caused confusion.
- For details, see our Correction Policy.
5. Use of AI-Generated Content
If any content is partially or fully generated using AI tools, it is thoroughly reviewed and fact-checked by a human editor before publication. We do not publish unverified automated content under any circumstances.
6. Reader Contributions and Fact Checks
We encourage our readers to participate in keeping our platform accurate. If you come across any content that appears misleading, incorrect, or incomplete, please notify us at:

7. Editorial Responsibility
The final responsibility for fact-checking lies with our editorial team. Every writer and editor is trained to prioritize accuracy, use reliable sources, and uphold the ethical standards of sports journalism.
8. Transparency and Updates
We believe in transparent communication. When updates or corrections are made due to fact-checks, they are:
