Cricinfo's bread and butter first developed as descriptions of India's Tests in Australia in 1991-92, written by Australian computer programmer Robert Elz, who posted on rec.sport.cricket. Elz watched the games on TV and sent in updates every half an hour or so to the Usenet group. The frequency of updates and the number of matches covered by commentary have increased dramatically since, with every international match and several domestic matches covered live. =====

In 2007, Cricinfo's global headquarters moved from London to Bangalore, signifying the growing importance of India in the cricket business market. The office houses about 100 employees who work in editorial, data services, design, production, product development and sales for Cricinfo and other ESPN websites. =====

After the 2011 World Cup, ESPNcricinfo published a book on the tournament, Sealed With A Six. The following year ESPNcricinfo, in partnership with the Indian arm of its parent company, Walt Disney, published an anthology on Rahul Dravid, Timeless Steel. Talking Cricket, a collection of interviews with players and coaches, each dwelling on a particular aspect of the game, came later that year. =====

In 1994, Cricinfo moved to the http format, which allowed the use of images. David Dyte, a statistician in Victoria, designed a graphic with the name Cricinfo flanked by the silhouette of a batsman (Allan Border) on the left and a bowler (Wilfred Rhodes) on the right. The logo that was eventually used was the Border silhouette in conjunction with a CricInfo header. The footer was a silhouette of the famous photograph that captures the culmination of the first tied Test.
