Write for Us Cricket: Cricket Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most cricket pitches are match reports or predictions that are stale by the next morning. What this blog wants is the lasting view: how a club grew its membership, how a coach builds a young player's technique, how a cricket channel or app found its audience, and what the reader can take into their own game or business.

My readers are business owners, founders and creators, and plenty of them follow cricket closely. They already read my guides to free offline cricket games, offline multiplayer games for two players and multiplayer game apps on one phone. A cricket post has to teach them something they can use on the field, on screen or in business.

60-second cricket guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you play, coach, run a club or build a business around cricket
• Can you share a real example from a season, a session or a launch
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Would a player, coach or cricket business owner know what to do after reading it
• Have you removed any betting tips and any sales pitch for one product

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Coaching methods and drills, with what improved

• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong cricket pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the best cricket teams in the world." A strong one says "I run the junior section at our club and I want to show how we got far more of our young players to stay for a second season, with the three changes we made to training and communication." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• A coaching drill that changed a player's game
• How a club grew membership or kept juniors playing
• Building a cricket audience online
• Cricket games and apps you tested yourself
• Analysing a player or team with simple data
• Finding sponsors for a local club
• Staying fit through a long season
• What captaincy taught you about running a team at work

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept cricket guest posts?

Yes. Cricket guest posts are welcome from coaches, players, club organisers, creators, analysts and cricket business founders who can share real experience. We publish practical articles and decline match reports and betting tips.

What cricket topics do you accept?

Coaching and technique, clubs and academies, fitness, cricket games and apps, analysis, fan communities and the business of cricket. The common thread is a lesson the reader can use.

Do you accept general sports guest posts?

Yes. Pitches about other sports suit the sports page better, but every pitch reaches the same editor.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit a cricket guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience playing, coaching or running cricket. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
