How to change your username
Choose a new username. It shows with @ in front, like @rahimuddin.
Who can do this
Anyone with a CricoScore account.
Before you start
You are signed in.
Your phone has internet.
You have not changed your username in the last 30 days.
Rules for a username
3 to 30 characters.
Small letters (a–z), numbers and hyphens (-) only. No spaces.
Start and end with a letter or a number.
You can change it once every 30 days.
Your old username stays yours. Old profile links still open your profile.
Steps
In the bottom bar, tap Profile.
Under ACCOUNT, tap Edit Profile.
Scroll down to PLAYER PROFILE. Find the USERNAME row. Tap Change on the right.
The Change username box opens. Delete the old username.
Type your new username, for example rahimuddin. Wait a moment. The app checks it.
Look at the line under the box. It says @rahimuddin is available, or it says what is wrong.
Tap Save. You see Username changed.
Done! You don't need to tap Save changes on Edit Profile for this.
Common problems
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| "That username is taken" | Someone else has it. Add a number or a hyphen, like rahim-uddin. |
| "That username is reserved" | CricoScore uses that word. Choose another one. |
| "Use 3 to 30 characters" | Make it longer or shorter. |
| "No double hyphens" | Use only one hyphen in a row. |
| "Use lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens; start and end with a letter or number" | Remove the hyphen at the start or the end. |
| "You can change your username again on …" | You changed it less than 30 days ago. Wait until that date. |
| I typed a capital letter or a space, and it disappeared | That is normal. Usernames use small letters and no spaces. |
