Journalistic Standards
Editorial Policy & Data Accuracy
Last updated: 16 October 2026
NPL Hub Nepal is an independent cricket information portal. It is not affiliated with, authorized, maintained, sponsored, or endorsed by the Nepal Premier League (NPL), the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN), or any participating cricket franchise.
Our Editorial Mission
NPL Hub Nepal was created by Nepali cricket enthusiasts to provide domestic supporters, diaspora followers, and cricket analysts worldwide with a fast, structured, accurate, and ad-clutter-free guide to the Nepal Premier League.
In a media ecosystem frequently crowded with clickbait rumors, speculative player auctions, and outdated schedules, our commitment is accuracy first. We operate under structured journalistic standards to ensure every fixture, points table standing, and squad profile is grounded in verified evidence.
Core Editorial Principles
1. Zero Fabricated or Speculative Data
We never invent player career figures, auction numbers, match scores, toss outcomes, or unverified squad signings. When official details have not been released by the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) or participating franchises, we state 'To be announced' or clearly label content as provisional.
2. Rigorous Source Verification
Every fixture date, venue detail, and official squad registration published on NPL Hub Nepal is cross-referenced against authoritative sources: CAN official announcements, accredited franchise press releases, and reputable national news organizations (such as The Kathmandu Post, Kantipur, and Ratopati).
3. Dual-Calendar Respect (Bikram Sambat & Gregorian)
We recognize the national importance of the Nepali calendar. All tournament match days, schedule announcements, and historical records display verified Bikram Sambat (BS 2083) dates alongside Gregorian dates, verified against official astronomical panchang calendars.
4. Clear Separation of Fact & Editorial Analysis
Our editorial articles distinguish factual reporting from opinion. Features such as squad power rankings, tactical previews, and pitch assessments are explicitly labeled with editorial disclaimers stating they reflect analytical opinion based on confirmed data.
5. Transparent Corrections Protocol
When an error occurs — whether a schedule change, player replacement, or typographical mistake — we correct it promptly across our centralized data layers. If an article's factual premise changes, an explicit correction note is appended indicating the update timestamp.
6. Trademark & Brand Asset Usage
All tournament titles, franchise names, team crests, and associated trademarks remain the exclusive intellectual property of CAN and their respective franchise owners. Their presentation here is strictly for descriptive, non-commercial fan reference and journalistic reporting under fair use principles.
How to Request a Correction
We welcome and encourage corrections from readers, players, coaches, and sports journalists. If you observe any factual inaccuracy in our schedules, scores, player records, or articles:

Our editorial desk reviews correction submissions promptly and updates the live database upon verification.
