What the news desk covers
The desk reports on three categories: scoring amendments (operator updates to the points table), state eligibility updates (state government advisories on paid fantasy contests) and matchday editorial (the desk's read of the upcoming match). The desk does not publish transfer rumours, off-field controversies or celebrity gossip.
How the desk reports news
The desk reads the primary source for every news item: the operator's official notice, the state government's gazette, the BCCI / ICC official press release. The desk does not rely on social media rumours. The desk publishes the news item with a clear byline date and a link to the primary source.
Why the news desk matters for fantasy
Scoring amendments can change your captain pick overnight. State eligibility updates can lock you out of a contest if your state has published a new advisory. The desk's news desk exists to surface these items within 24 hours of publication so readers can adjust their contest plans.
Three recent news items
News item one: a tournament scoring amendment that adds a 2-point bonus for a 'player of the match' performance. News item two: a state government advisory restricting certain paid contests. News item three: a major IPL franchise announcing a squad change ahead of the next match. Each news item is published with a primary source link.

Common news mistakes
The desk's most common news mistakes: trusting social media rumours about scoring amendments (the operator publishes the official amendment), missing a state eligibility update (the desk publishes every state advisory within 24 hours), trusting transfer rumours (the desk only reports on official franchise press releases). The desk recommends always checking the primary source.
