and accredited scouts.
A wider field
of view.
Scouting in Indian cricket today is constrained not by the quality of scouts but by the visibility of players. CRIB exists to widen the visible field — without changing how franchises actually evaluate.
You are scouting from incomplete inputs.
A typical IPL scouting department covers Ranji, the C K Nayudu, the Cooch Behar, the Vinoo Mankad, the major private leagues (TNPL, KPL, Mumbai T20), age-group nationals, and a curated set of trial camps. Between them, that visibility extends to perhaps two thousand players in any given year.
India has approximately two hundred thousand serious competitive cricketers in academy systems. The pool actually being looked at is around one per cent of the pool that exists.
The other ninety-nine per cent are not all going to be IPL prospects. But somewhere in them are the next twenty players who will be — and the cost of finding them, today, is individual scout hours and a great deal of luck.
What a CRIB licence gives you.
We are a feeder, not a competitor.
The BCCI pathway — district selection through state, zonal, and national age-group cricket — remains the official route. The National Cricket Academy remains the apex training institution. CRIB does not, will not, and cannot replace any of this. We register and rank the layer below state-association visibility, and we hand off cleanly when a player enters the official pathway.
For state associations and the BCCI, access to the registry is offered free of charge. Where the Board wishes to audit our methodology, see our raw data, or integrate the registry into its own talent-identification systems, we will provide that access on terms the Board sets.
A briefing for your
scouting department.
Licensing is structured per-franchise, with no per-seat caps. We will walk your scouting and analytics leadership through the registry, the methodology, and the integration options.
