In a move that could simplify how cricket is understood and played across the province, Quebec based developer Mudassar Akbar Ahmed has launched a free digital tool designed to answer cricket policy questions in plain English.
The platform is built to eliminate one of the biggest frustrations for players, parents, and coaches: navigating lengthy and complex rulebooks. Instead of digging through hundreds of pages of official documentation, users can now simply ask a question and receive a clear, direct answer along with the exact source from Cricket Quebec’s and BC regulations, working to embed more provinces.
This tool arrives as a practical solution for a growing cricket community that often struggles with accessibility to official information.
From player registrations to match rules, the assistant covers a wide range of queries. Users can ask how to register a junior player, understand T20 playing conditions in Quebec, learn about player transfers between clubs, or find out what documents are required for parents and guardians.
What makes the platform stand out is its simplicity. It is mobile friendly, requires no login, and allows completely anonymous use. This ensures that anyone in the cricket ecosystem can access reliable information instantly without barriers.
While still in its early stages, the tool is already functional and continues to improve as more documents are added and responses are refined. Mudassar has also opened the door for community feedback, encouraging users to test the platform and help shape its development.
It is important to note that the Cricket Policy Assistant is an independent project and is not affiliated with any official cricket governing body.
For a sport that continues to grow at the grassroots level in Quebec, innovations like this could play a key role in improving transparency, reducing confusion, and making cricket more accessible for everyone involved.
