CricCuts Academy · free
Learn the game. Then go and play it better.
CricCuts cuts your sessions into highlight reels — and carries a free cricket academy beside them. Courses on spin, swing, power hitting, your body, your food and your mind. Physics mock tests for school and college students. An umpiring course on the 2026 Laws. And a library of coaching videos sorted for the way you play. All on your phone, almost all of it offline.

Who it’s for
Whoever you are in cricket, there’s a shelf for you.
Pick a level once — School or College — and the Academy puts the right courses first. Change it any time.
School students
Lessons written for Class 7–10. Science you can feel: make a ball drift, dip and turn, then find out why it did.
College & entrance-exam students
Timed physics mock tests in the style of JEE Main, every question set in cricket — kinematics, rotation, momentum, energy and air.
Umpires
The 2026 Laws as an umpire applies them, practice papers, a mock exam, and an LBW game that sharpens the hardest call in cricket.
Teaching it? The whole Academy is free for schools and community programmes — see CricCuts for schools.
Courses
Six courses, written the way a good teacher talks.
Short lessons, each ending with a quick check. Pick up where you left off, keep a daily streak going, and find every source listed at the end — because a coach and a science teacher will both ask.
Your body, your food, your mind
Fuel: food for young cricketers
A balanced plate, protein, carbs and fats, fibre and your gut, water, match days — and why ultra-processed food hurts. Built on India’s own national dietary guidance.
Your body: built to play
How muscles, bones and energy work, why good technique protects you, how much bowling a young body can take, and how to warm up properly.
Mind and recovery
Sleep, nerves and pressure, rest and burnout, body image — and where to turn for help when you need it.
The science of the game
The science of spin
Drift, dip and turn: what a spinner’s revs really do, in the air and off the pitch.
The science of swing
Conventional, reverse and contrast swing — and the myths about weather and shine.
The science of power hitting
How the body makes bat speed — the kinetic chain, the sweet spot, bat mass — and what sends the ball over the rope.
Health lessons are sourced and careful: national dietary guidelines, the WHO and sports-medicine bodies, listed under every lesson. Where the evidence only shows a link, they say “linked with”, never “causes”. They never recommend a supplement or a diet.
General guidance, not medical advice. For your own health, talk to a doctor, a qualified dietitian or your coach.
School & College · mock tests
Physics that bowls at you.
Choose School for lessons written for Class 7–10, or College for the same lessons plus timed mock tests for Class 11–12 and entrance-exam practice.
- Three timed papers — kinematics of the ball; spin and rotation; bat, ball, energy and air.
- Ten questions, 25 minutes each — eight single-correct and two numerical, and the paper submits itself when time runs out.
- Marked like JEE Main — +4 for a right answer, −1 for a wrong one, 0 if you leave it.
- Feels like the real screen — a question palette, mark-for-review, then your result by topic and a worked solution for every question.
- Your best, your last, your attempts — kept on your phone so you can see yourself improve.
Practice in the style of the JEE Main paper, written by CricCuts. It is not an official paper.
Umpiring
Learn to give it out — under the 2026 Laws.
The Laws of Cricket change, and the 2026 edition is the one in force now. The umpiring course teaches it the way an umpire uses it in the middle.
The course
Thirteen lessons: the field, runs, no balls and wides, every way of getting out, fair play and signals. Every rule names its clause, and what’s new in 2026 is marked.
Papers and a mock exam
Six practice papers of ten questions, twelve minutes each — one is all LBW. Then a timed mock exam drawn from all of them. Marked on your phone, offline.
The LBW game
An over of six appeals. See each delivery from above, side-on and at the stumps, and judge it by the Law’s tests. Pace or spin, clear-cut or close calls, full tracking or only up to the pad.
In English. Practice for the Laws — not an exam of the MCC, the BCCI or any umpires’ association, and no certificate. An optional verified online test for adults is being prepared; it isn’t open yet.
Video library
Coaching videos worth your time — picked, not scraped.
More than 150 coaching videos and Shorts, sorted onto shelves by skill and by level — basics, next step, advanced — from the players, boards and coaches who made them.
Tell the Academy your role, your batting hand and how you bowl, and it moves the most useful videos to the top. It never hides anything; it only re-orders the shelves, and your profile never leaves your phone.
How a video earns a place
- Uploaded by the people who own it — nothing re-posted
- No betting or real-money-gaming sponsors
- Playable in India
- Opens in YouTube, so it needs a connection — nothing is copied into the app
In the app today
A physics lab that happens to be about cricket.
Three simulators — spin, swing and power hitting. Change the revs, the seam, the wind or the bat speed and watch the ball’s path change with it. The flight is modelled, not animated: drag, the Magnus effect, seam forces and air that thins with altitude.
Laws of Cricket
All 42 Laws, searchable, with the famous incidents that shaped them.
Tips & coaching
140 bite-size cues across thirteen areas, from pace and both kinds of spin to keeping, fielding and the mental game.
Glossary & field map
The must-know words, and a map of fielding positions you can tap.
Life & leadership
Lessons drawn from real cricket moments — and a “Did you know?” shelf for when rain stops play.
In the app’s toolkit too: an offline DLS calculator for rain-hit chases.
Languages
English on the page. Your language one tap away.
The Science Lab, the Courses and the mock tests come with Hindi, Marathi, Tamil and Kannada. Read in English and tap any paragraph for your language, show both side by side, or put your language first. Your phone can read a lesson aloud in its own offline voice.

Diagrams keep their English labels — the words you’ll meet in an exam. Umpiring, the Laws, tips and the glossary are in English for now. The translations are new: if a line reads wrong, tell us and we’ll fix it.
Teach in one of these languages, or want the Academy in another? Help us check the translations, or ask for your language.
Search & voice
Find any lesson, Law or video — even with no signal.
One search box for the whole app: every screen, lesson, mock test, umpiring paper, Law, glossary word, help answer and library video — and your own sessions, by name, player, place or date.
- Works offline. The search runs on your phone, so it answers at a ground with no signal.
- Say it instead. Tap the mic and say where you want to go. It uses your phone’s own offline speech recogniser — Android 12 or newer, in Indian English.
- Nothing is recorded. CricCuts never records, stores or uploads audio, and your searches never leave the phone.
- The logo is the menu. Tap it on any screen to reach every part of the app.
Made with children in mind
Their progress is theirs.
Stays on the phone
Lessons done, streaks, scores and the player profile are kept on the device. They’re never uploaded, and “Delete everything” clears them.
No account to learn
Everything in the Academy works as a guest. There is nothing to sign up for before a child can start a lesson.
A score for the learner only
A student sees their own quiz and test results, to see themselves improve. The app never puts a score on a child’s batting.
Questions, answered
The quick answers.
Is the CricCuts Academy free?
Yes. Every course, mock test, umpiring paper, the LBW game, the Science Lab and the video library are free, with no paywall and no account needed.
Does the Academy work offline?
Almost all of it. Lessons, quick checks, mock tests, umpiring papers, the LBW game, the Science Lab, the Laws and search all work with no connection. Watching a library video needs one, because videos open in YouTube. Reading aloud and voice search use your phone’s own offline voices, which some phones download once from their settings.
Which languages are the lessons in?
English, with Hindi, Marathi, Tamil and Kannada one tap away for the Science Lab, the Courses and the mock tests. You can read in English and tap a paragraph for your language, show both, or put your language first. Umpiring, the Laws, tips and the glossary are in English for now.
Are the mock tests official JEE papers?
No. They are practice in the style of the JEE Main paper, written by CricCuts and set in cricket. They are not official papers.
Is the umpiring course a qualification?
No. It teaches the 2026 edition of the Laws as an umpire applies them, with practice papers and a mock exam marked on your phone. It is not an exam of the MCC, the BCCI or any umpires’ association, and it does not award a certificate.
Is the food and fitness advice medical advice?
No. It is general guidance with its sources listed under every lesson. It never recommends supplements or diets. For anything about your own health, talk to a doctor, a qualified dietitian or your coach.
The Academy comes free with CricCuts.
CricCuts is in a closed test on Google Play. Leave the Google account on your Android phone and we’ll add you.
