We generally consider any article related to historical or modern-day cricket affairs to be within our scope. Most of our work focuses on ten broad areas: International cricket, including Test, One Day International (ODI), and Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket, in addition to matches played in the ICC Trophy/ICC World Cricket League. Comprehensive coverage of all major international cricket tournaments or series since 1877. Domestic cricket predominantly focused on the 12 Full Members of the International Cricket Council and their domestic teams and competitions. Coverage of cricketers to have played at Test, ODI, T20I, first-class, List A, or Twenty20 level. Coverage of umpires who have officiated in major international or domestic matches. Coverage of all cricket grounds to have held matches in Test, ODI, T20I, first-class, List A, or Twenty20 formats, or otherwise historically notable. The Laws of Cricket. Depictions of cricket in all media, such as art, books and other prose, film, music, poetry, sculpture, television, and video games. Creating and maintaining an efficient and navigable category system to ensure that all cricket-related articles can easily be found by interested readers. Increasing the number of well-written cricket-related articles by expanding all stubs to start-class and improving all start-class articles to B-class at least. We maintain advice pages on content and notability related to cricket articles, and there is a formal style guideline as well: The cricket style guide provides advice on article content and structure.

The contest department offers a form of friendly competition to motivate editors. The incubator department host new groups and initiatives within the project. We also maintain task forces to organize collaboration on particular cricket topics: General topics Cricket grounds · Cricket history ·
