How does your cricket club preserve its statistical history?

Ccurious how cricket clubs preserve their player records, achievements and history across generations.

Many clubs have decades of valuable statistics spread across handwritten scorebooks, spreadsheets, PDFs, old websites, MyCricket exports, PlayHQ and the personal computers of past volunteers. Even when current. season statistics are available, the club’s complete historical record can be difficult to search, maintain and share.

That experience led me to build ClubStats, but I’d love to hear how other cricket clubs approach it.

• Where does your club keep its historical statistics?

• Who maintains and validates the records?

• Have player records been lost during platform changes?

• Are old scorebooks or spreadsheets still waiting to be digitised?

• Which club records are most important to preserve?

I’d genuinely appreciate hearing what has worked for your cricket club and what hasn’t
