EquiPlay is a web-based platform created by a team of academics, data scientists, and sports experts to redefine standards in fair and transparent talent development.
Designed for clubs, coaches, and players, EquiPlay ensures that every player is evaluated using a standardised skills framework. This minimises bias while preserving the professional judgment of coaches, giving players a genuine opportunity to progress. Our data-driven approach removes subjectivity from talent identification, creating a level playing field for all athletes.
Cricket draws from very diverse communities at the grassroots level — but that diversity is not reflected in the same way at the professional level. Systemic barriers, subjectivity in assessments, and opaque decision making have held the sport back from being truly inclusive.
Although a skills-based game, standardised or consistent assessing of players in a way that is both rigorous and transparent is not commonplace. Without this, decisions around player selection, deselection, and development risk being subjective, inconsistent, and potentially unfair.
There is a clear need for a system that gives players real visibility over their progress, with precise, meaningful feedback to help them improve and fulfil their potential — regardless of background, gender, school, or social connections.
At its heart, it’s a tool designed to promote equity, diversity and inclusion in coaching, assessment, and decision-making. It standardises player assessment, ensures fairness, and creates a clear, transparent record of performance and development.
But more than that, EquiPlay gives cricket leaders the evidence they need for data-informed decisions — helping to build a sport where talent is recognised and nurtured on merit, and where every player can see a fair and open pathway to success.
Whether you’re a grassroots club or a professional organisation, EquiPlay offers powerful tools for player assessment, tracking, and development like never before. Empowering all talent to reach its full potential, regardless of background.
