A Cricket ID is a unique identifier used by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to track and manage player profiles, statistics, and performance across all formats of the game. It serves as a digital passport for cricketers worldwide.

To obtain a Cricket ID, aspiring players need to follow these steps:

1. Register on the ICC website: Visit the official ICC website and navigate to the player registration page. Fill in your personal information, such as name, date of birth, nationality, etc. Ensure accuracy as this data will form your cricketing identity.

2. Verify your identity: To maintain transparency and prevent fraudulence, ICC requires players to provide proof of identification. This usually involves submitting scanned copies of relevant documents like passports or national IDs through an online portal.

3. Provide playing history: The next step involves detailing your playing experience at various levels - school teams, clubs, domestic matches played so far if any - along with achievements or notable performances if applicable.

4 . Upload videos (optional): While not mandatory for registration purposes; uploading video clips showcasing your skills can be beneficial in attracting attention from scouts or talent spotters who often browse through player profiles looking for potential talents.

5 . Wait for verification: Once you have completed all the necessary steps mentioned above and submitted them successfully via the ICC's registration platform; it may take some time (usually a few days) for their team to review your application thoroughly before granting you a valid Cricket ID.

6 . Access benefits & opportunities: Upon receiving approval notification from ICC regarding the successful creation of Cricket ID; players gain access to numerous benefits offered by cricket boards around the world including eligibility to participate in international tournaments/leagues sanctioned by respective governing bodies.
