Cricket is rarely a solo sport in India. Fathers coach sons. Mothers cheer from the sidelines. Siblings form rivalries. Cousins become lifelong teammates.
That’s why TheLineCricket now supports multi-profile households — one account that holds cricket profiles for every member of your family, including kids.
The Problem We Solved
Before this feature, families faced a choice:
- Create separate accounts for each member (cumbersome, especially for kids)
- Share one profile (stats get mixed up, identity confused)
- Skip the app for younger players entirely (defeats the purpose)
Now, one parent account can hold profiles for:
- Themselves
- Their partner
- Their kids (managed under the parent)
How It Works — Netflix for Cricket
Open the app, tap your profile avatar in the top-left, and you’ll see a profile switcher. Swipe between profiles like you switch between Netflix users.
Each profile has:
- Its own display name and username
- Its own cricket stats (runs, wickets, matches, 50s, 100s)
- Its own post feed and follows
- Its own match participation history
- Its own achievements
Kid-Safe By Design
Child profiles are managed under a parent account. This means:
- Parent controls privacy settings for the child
- Parent sees all notifications for the child’s matches and messages
- Child can’t change sensitive settings (phone, email, verification)
- Child’s stats are separated — won’t appear on any adult leaderboards
Perfect for coaching academies that want to track under-15 students without each kid needing their own phone.
Real Use Cases
The Cricket Family
Ramesh (42) and Priya (40) both play weekend cricket. Their son Arjun (13) attends an academy. With multi-profile:
- Ramesh’s profile tracks his club matches — 34 games, 892 runs career
- Priya’s profile tracks her women’s league — 12 games, 245 runs
- Arjun’s profile (child) tracks his academy matches — 18 games, 302 runs, managed by dad
One account, three cricket lives, zero confusion.
The Father-Son Team
Vikas (50) and his son Dev (17) play for the same club weekend team. Both scored in the same match? TheLineCricket shows it on both their profiles correctly.
Dev’s father can celebrate his son’s century without having to dig through match histories — the stat updates automatically.
The Coaching Academy
“Bawra Cricket Academy” onboarded 40 students this season. Instead of requiring 40 phone numbers, 35 of the kids are managed as child profiles under their parents’ accounts.
Parents see their child’s training stats. The academy tracks everyone. Everyone wins.
How to Add a Profile
- Open TheLineCricket
- Tap your profile avatar (top-left)
- Scroll down to “Add another profile”
- Choose Adult or Child
- Fill in the basics (display name, username, cricket role)
- For a child: the parent’s email is used for notifications
The profile is created instantly. Switch to it with one tap.
Switching Between Profiles
Anywhere in the app, tap your avatar. The profile switcher slides up. Tap a profile to switch instantly. The feed, matches, messages, and stats all update to show that profile’s data.
Why This Matters
Cricket is generational in India. Kids pick it up from parents. Siblings compete at home. Grandfathers still keep score from the armchair.
Multi-profile households recognize that reality. One account, many cricketers, complete privacy for minors.
