Leagues, seasons, and search

League and season commands are the bridge between high-level competition discovery and match or analysis commands.

Season traversal

cricinfo seasons show 19138 --season 2025
cricinfo seasons types 19138 --season 2025

Season commands normalize pointer-heavy upstream data into simple terminal views so you can find the right season, type, or group before running a scoped workflow.

Standings

Empty-but-valid metadata collections render as clean zero-result views, which makes them safe in scripts.

Search with context

cricinfo search players "Virat Kohli" --league 19138
