The difference
Not every hundred counts the same
A hundred nobody confirmed and a hundred a scorer wrote down are different facts here, and your passport says which is which. Every rating carries the confidence behind it.
AI SCOUTING, player DEVELOPMENT & MINDSET pathway
One nobody confirmed. One a scorer wrote down. ASCEND records which is which, and who stood behind it — so what you have done travels with you, and is worth what it is actually worth.
Invite-only. No outcome is promised. Nothing is sold that cannot be earned.
Why now
Gen Z · 18 to 28
A nineteen-year-old has four hundred clips on a phone and no way to show that a single innings in them happened. The training changed completely. The paperwork behind it did not move at all.
Gen Alpha · still at school
Fourteen-year-olds with strength programmes, GPS vests and video analysts. They can hold an ASCEND record — and while they are under 18, none of it reaches a scout or an organisation unless their parent has permitted exactly that and ASCEND has confirmed it with them.
The coaches
Coaches who work from evidence, write their reasoning down and expect the tool to keep up. ASCEND is built for that coach — and it puts their name, not an algorithm’s, on every judgement.
A record of your cricket that somebody else stands behind.
The difference
A hundred nobody confirmed and a hundred a scorer wrote down are different facts here, and your passport says which is which. Every rating carries the confidence behind it.
Privacy
Not your coach. Not a scout. Not ASCEND. Your sleep, your mood and your Mandalart goals are yours alone — and your CLINIX log is the same, down to which clinician you let in by name.
Under 18
You can hold a full record at fourteen. No scout is shown anybody under 18 — not with your permission, not with your parent’s. What a parent does decide is whether you can work with a coach here: they get an email, somebody confirms it with them, and they can withdraw it at any time. Everything you log is yours either way.
No shortcuts
AI can tell you what your body did in a clip. It will never tell you it was good, and it will never rate you. That is a coach’s job.
Corroboration
Hand the scorer a link. Two minutes, and they never see your figures — which is exactly why what they confirm is worth something. Board cricket goes further: a BCCI competition can only be logged as one once your state association has confirmed you were in that squad.
Your photos
A STAMP card is drawn on your device and handed to your share sheet. Nothing is uploaded, so there is nothing for ASCEND to keep.
How a scout finds you
No scout searches the players on ASCEND. Names are put in front of them against a rule published on your own page — and you are told whether you meet it yet. There is no rank and no percentile, because nothing here should invite a sixteen-year-old to compare their worth with another child’s.
Ask your own record
The Guide answers from your own fixtures, figures, bowling week and fitness tests — and on the Laws of Cricket. Ten Indian languages and English, and an off switch under Your data. If what it reads widens, your old agreement stops counting: you are asked again, and it stays quiet until you answer.
The honest part
You are early. You are here to tell us what is broken, and right now that is worth more than a subscription.
What happens next
Ask for an invite
A person reads it. There is no automatic approval and no queue number.
Build the record
Log matches, keep the journal, upload a clip. Five minutes a day is the whole habit.
Get it confirmed
Send the scorer a link. What they confirm is worth more than anything you claim yourself.
Be assessed
Two accredited coaches, independently, against a published rubric — with their names on it.
Invite-only. Nothing to pay during the pilot.
Five minutes a day, a record that follows you, and an honest answer about where you stand.
