What is Cricket ID?

"Cricket ID" (as used on this site) refers to online identity systems, digital profiles, or apps that track, rate, or connect players and fans — often requiring personal information and constant engagement. While many such services aim to bring fans closer to the game, there are important risks to consider.

Major Warnings — Why Cricket ID can be harmful for youth & children

Privacy risks: Many apps collect sensitive data (age, location, contacts). Children's data is particularly vulnerable to misuse.

Addictive engagement: Gamified features and rating systems can encourage compulsive checking and unhealthy screen time.

Exposure to inappropriate content: Open chat features or unmoderated communities can expose minors to aggressive behaviour, gambling talk, or adult themes.

Gambling normalization: Some cricket-related platforms cross-promote betting or simulated gambling — this normalises risk-taking behaviours among young users.

False identity & bullying: Anonymous profiles and rating systems may enable trolling, harassment or social pressure.

Warnings & recommended actions:

Parents: supervise app installs, review privacy settings, and limit screen time.
Educators: discuss digital literacy and the dangers of data sharing with students.
Youth: avoid sharing personal documents or financial information; use strong, unique passwords.
All users: check app permissions, read privacy policies, and report suspicious behaviour.

History & Legacy

India's cricketing history is rich — from domestic competitions to world stages. Young athletes dream of playing for the blue jersey. Support that dream safely by emphasising training, education, and consent when sharing profiles online.

Tip: Encourage physical coaching, community clubs, and verified academies rather than unknown online rating platforms.
