You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for misleading username and promotional editing.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Abecedare (talk) 07:20, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator noteAs mentioned above, you have been blocked because:

Your username purports to represent ESPN Cricinfo, which per wikipedia username policy is not allowed, and in your case does not even appear to be true; and
Because your account is being used solely to promote the cricketer Aviraj Patil.

If you wish to continue editing, you will not only need to create a new account with a permissible username (see WP:USERNAME for what is allowed/disallowed) but also stop promotional editing (read wikipedia's policies on conflict of interest and promotional editing). Let me know if you accept those conditions, and I'll guide you on how to proceed. Do not create a new account without first discussing the issue here.
