For cricket clubs, keeping track of fixtures, teams, and results can be time-consuming - especially when information sits across multiple systems. That’s why ClubSports365 is fully integrated with the ECB’s Play-Cricket platform, bringing all your essential cricket data together in one place.
This established integration means clubs can say goodbye to double data entry and hello to effortless, accurate, and up-to-date information management.
-
A Seamless Connection Between Platforms
Through the Play-Cricket integration, your club’s Play-Cricket Site ID links directly with your ClubSports365 account. Once connected, the platform automatically imports and synchronises your teams, fixtures, results, and league information.
No spreadsheets. No manual updates. Just a simple, automated flow of accurate data that keeps your systems aligned and your admin time dramatically reduced.
-
How It Works
Setting up the integration is quick and secure. Each club’s Play-Cricket account has a unique Site ID issued by the ECB. By entering this ID into the Club Admin settings in ClubSports365, your club can connect to the official Play-Cricket API.
From there, ClubSports365 automatically retrieves and refreshes data at regular intervals, or instantly whenever you perform a manual sync. Your club’s operations stay up to date without lifting a finger.

What the Integration Covers
The Play-Cricket integration supports all key areas of your club’s season:
Teams Import
Automatically pulls in every team from your Play-Cricket profile, from senior sides to junior age groups. Teams are matched by name to prevent duplication, keeping your structure consistent and well organised.
Fixtures Import
All your fixtures, past and upcoming, are automatically imported with key details such as opponent, competition, date, venue, and start time. If anything changes on Play-Cricket, ClubSports365 updates it for you automatically.
Results Synchronisation
Once match results are submitted on Play-Cricket, ClubSports365 updates them automatically - including scores, overs, and full batting and bowling summaries. This ensures both systems always show identical, verified results.
League and Competition Data
League and competition information, such as divisions and competition codes are also imported, linking fixtures and results to the right tournaments for clear reporting and performance analysis.
Data Refresh and Manual Sync
ClubSports365 runs automatic background updates but also allows clubs to run manual syncs at any time. The platform logs every sync so administrators can see what’s been updated and when.

Why It Matters
The integration is more than just a time-saver, it’s a real benefit for club administration:
