What is cricket.com.au?

Updated

cricket.com.au is the official website of Cricket Australia, the national governing body for cricket in Australia. It is a free-to-access news and live coverage hub for cricket fans, offering live scores, streaming, video highlights, breaking news, match reports, and expert analysis. It covers both international fixtures involving Australia and domestic competitions such as the KFC BBL and Weber WBBL.

What you can find on the site

The homepage is organised around a few recurring content blocks, each serving a different fan need:

Section What it provides
Latest Headlines Breaking news, squad announcements, and short updates, often timestamped within minutes or hours
Latest Videos Interviews, match highlights, and analysis clips, typically a few minutes to ~16 minutes long
Featured Series Upcoming and ongoing series with date ranges, e.g. South Africa v Australia Tests 2026, Weber WBBL|12, KFC BBL|16
Featured Players Profiles and storylines around current players
Features Longer-form analysis and columns, such as the piece on Matt Renshaw's play against spin

The site also carries match reports and "as it happened" live blogs, so you can follow a game in progress or catch up afterward.

Coverage scope

Content spans the full Australian cricket calendar:

  • International cricket — men's and women's Tests, ODIs, and T20Is, including away tours (for example, South Africa v Australia Tests 2026 and Australia v England ODIs 2026).
  • Domestic T20 — the KFC BBL (BBL|16) and Weber WBBL (WBBL|12), including full squad breakdowns for each club.
  • State and one-day cricket — competitions like the One-Day Cup, with match reports on results such as Western Australia v Queensland.

Series listings include start and end dates, which makes the Featured Series block a practical way to see what is coming up rather than only what is live now.

Who it is for

The site suits anyone who wants a single destination for Australian cricket: casual fans checking scores and headlines, supporters following a specific club or player through a BBL or WBBL season, and readers who want analysis beyond the scoreline. Because it is the governing body's own outlet, its reporting and video come from the organisation running the competitions it covers.

Practical notes

  • Language: English.
  • Cost: The site presents itself as a live coverage and streaming destination; a "Premium Experiences" link exists, but the homepage content described here — news, scores, videos, series info — is presented as general coverage. Treat any premium offering as a separate product and check its page directly for terms.
  • Freshness: Headlines and videos carry timestamps ranging from minutes to about a day old, so the homepage is designed for frequent return visits during active series.

If you want live scores, highlights, and Australian cricket news in one place, cricket.com.au is the primary official source. If you only need a specific fixture's result or a single player's profile, the Featured Series and Featured Players blocks are the fastest entry points.
