JioStar announced today that ESPNcricinfo will be rebranded as Cricinfo. The rebranding of the world’s leading cricket website is a key step in the operational transition, following the terms agreed as part of the merger between Reliance Industries Limited and The Walt Disney Company in India in November 2024.
The name change takes Cricinfo back to its original identity when it was founded in 1993. The platform will continue to be the most-trusted and deeply engaged cricket destination in the world and will play a distinctive role in consumers’ experience of JioStar’s world-class cricket presentation.
“We will continue building Cricinfo as a definitive destination for the most passionate cricket fans globally and it will remain true to its founding principles of serving cricket fans everywhere. The next phase of evolution will include AI-powered innovations to enhance our story-telling, which, as ever, will stay rooted in originality,” said Sambit Bal, Editor-in-Chief, Cricinfo.
Cricinfo will now be available at cricinfo.com and across its mobile apps as “Cricinfo” on the App Store and Google Play. Users accessing the site via espncricinfo.com or existing bookmarks and links will continue to be directed to the site without interruption. With over three decades of editorial heritage and one of the most comprehensive cricket databases ever built, Cricinfo remains the definitive record of the sport.
