Today's stories
Three stories lead the desk: a match report, a squad move, and a transfer or form update. Each carries a public byline, a verification stamp, and a corrections link. The desk does not republish press releases as news.
Squad moves
Verified squad moves only — BCCI, ECB, ICC, ISL, PKL. Where the move is not yet public, the desk waits for the official announcement.
Editorial policy
The desk publishes two stories a day, every day. The byline is named. The corrections log is public. The verification stamp is on every story.
Today's stories
Three stories lead the desk: a match report, a squad move, and a transfer or form update. Each carries a public byline, a verification stamp, and a corrections link. The desk does not republish press releases as news. The desk does not invent quotes. The desk publishes what was said, who said it, and when.
Squad moves
Verified squad moves only — BCCI, ECB, ICC, ISL, PKL. Where the move is not yet public, the desk waits for the official announcement. The desk does not publish rumours. The desk does not publish "sources close to". The desk publishes verified facts, with a public corrections log.
Transfers and form updates
Transfers and form updates are published only when verified. The desk's read on a transfer is sourced from the team's official channel, the player's verified social, or the press release. Where the desk is not sure, the desk publishes a verification-needed note rather than a confident read.

The desk publishes two stories a day, every day. The byline is named. The corrections log is public. The verification stamp is on every story. The desk does not publish a story it cannot source. The desk does not republish press releases as news.
Verification stamp
Every story carries a verification stamp — a timestamp, a public byline, and a corrections link. The verification stamp is the desk's promise to the reader. The verification stamp is the desk's accountability.
Corrections log
Where a story is wrong, the corrections log carries the public correction. The corrections log is open — [email protected] is the public email. The corrections log is the desk's accountability, in the open.
News archive
The news archive carries the daily stories for the last 30 days. The archive is searchable by beat (cricket, football, kabaddi), by team, and by player. The archive is the desk's memory.

Extended reading
The news desk is the desk's daily surface. The form laboratory is the desk's evidence base. The captain evidence desk is the desk's picks. The three are designed to be read together — a story without a form laboratory is a story without evidence; a form laboratory without a story is evidence without a story. The desk's editorial system is the three, not any one alone.
The desk on cricket news
The desk covers the BCCI, ECB, ICC, and other cricket governing bodies. The desk's coverage of cricket news is the match reports, the squad moves, the transfer reports, and the corrections log. The desk's editorial line is the same — match context, player form, captain reads. The desk's coverage of cricket is the most extensive — every match, every captain read, every form arrow.
The desk covers the ISL, I-League, and the Indian national teams. The desk's coverage of football news is the match reports, the squad moves, the transfer reports, and the corrections log. The desk's editorial line is the same — match context, player form, captain reads.

Methodology
The desk's coverage of news is built on three pillars. The match report, published the same day, carries the verified facts and the named byline. The squad move, published when verified, carries the official source and the corrections link. The transfer update, published when verified, carries the official source and the corrections link. The three pillars are the desk's editorial system for news.

The news archive carries the daily stories for the last 30 days. The corrections archive carries the public record of corrections. The squad moves archive carries the verified squad moves. The transfer watch is the desk's shortlist of verified transfers. The four are designed to be read together — a story without a corrections archive is a story without accountability; a corrections archive without a story is accountability without a story.
The desk on sources
Sources matter. The desk's primary sources are the BCCI, ECB, ICC, ISL, and PKL. The desk's secondary sources are the verified social channels of national teams and the public-domain legal databases. The desk does not publish a story sourced from anonymous tips. The desk does not publish a story sourced from a single source. The desk's coverage of sources is the desk's editorial system.
