"It's given our women's and junior teams real visibility inside the club, people know names now that they didn't before."
"Fantasy cricket was great for club engagement, and so easy to set up and run."
"StumpBadger has been a great fundraiser for our club! There was plenty of buy-in from players as well as their friends and families."
Where this started
StumpBadger started out as a personal project built for Twyford House CC, a cricket club in North-West Bristol who proudly wear the badger as their mascot. Cricket is unique in having such a data-rich scoring system even at grassroots level, making it the perfect sport for a club-level fantasy league, but we were frustrated by existing options. We wanted to create something that was genuinely built for cricket, not just a fantasy football app wearing whites and a wide-brim, and so StumpBadger was born. It's since grown from a tool for one club into something other clubs wanted to run too, and has proved successful in fundraising and improving club engagement.
A badger is someone who properly lives the game. If they're not out in the middle, they're in the nets, rereading scorecards, watching cricket on TV, or even building a cricket fantasy app... That's the culture StumpBadger is named for; we know how it feels to live cricket, and think that badgers across the country deserve an app built with them in mind.
For cricketers, by cricketers
On every plan, including Free
Connect your club's Play-Cricket site once. Scorecards and new players turn up on their own, nobody re-types a result by hand.
Runs, wickets, catches, milestones, and more, every one of them configurable by your league.
Your crest, your colours, your club name throughout. Members are playing your league, StumpBadger just runs it underneath.
A leaderboard for every gameweek and the season, plus a Hall of Fame for the performances your club will still be talking about next year.
Before every gameweek, pick an XI from your club's real players. Scores come in live from play Play-Cricket, your points are calculated automatically, and the leaderboard updates.
Depending on your club's selection mode, teams can be restricted to specific squad, role, or budget constraints. Squad mode is a fantastic way to bring visibility to women's and junior teams; when the women's 2nd XI keeper scores a gritty fifty to win the league, you'll want her in your side.
Link your Play-Cricket site and the player list fills itself in. You can also add players by hand.
Send the join link round the group chat. Signing up takes a minute.
Everyone locks in an XI before the deadline. The rest happens when the cricket does.
Try it yourself
Pick at least two, then set a captain (2× points) and vice-captain (1.5×).
Real England players, invented gameweek stats, not real data. The real app asks for a full XI, pick two to five here to see how it works.

Start free and upgrade from Admin → Billing whenever you need to. No card needed to create a league.
Not to get started. You can create your league shell today and connect Play-Cricket when you're ready. Members can't pick a team or see scores until it's connected, since that's where StumpBadger reads your squad and scorecards from.
Ask your club's admin. There's a join link and code waiting for them in the Dashboard to share with the team.
There's no subscription to cancel or lapse. If your club takes a break, we keep your league's link, branding and membership list exactly as they were, so you can pick up again whenever you're ready. The detailed match-by-match data from a finished season is cleared a little while after it ends, once results have had time to settle, purely to keep things tidy.
Yes. A league isn't limited to one admin. Any existing admin can promote another member to admin from the league's Admin panel, so you're not stuck if the person who set things up steps back.
No. Your club's picks, scores and league data are never visible to other clubs. Our own team can access data you share with us, for example to help with support, and we may use aggregated data across StumpBadger to build new features. Your individual team selections are never part of that. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail.
Yes, we offer a full refund if it's before your first gameweek.
No. StumpBadger reads results from Play-Cricket, but it doesn't replace how your matches get officially scored. This sits alongside it as a fantasy competition.
