What players say

Players say this is the same game as Cricket Captain 2019 with only a roster update. The bowling AI is broken and batting results feel random, with tailenders scoring too often. The UI is clunky, the 3D engine looks years old, and there is no way to track player development or see detailed stats. Some enjoy the ball-by-ball simulation, but most warn not to buy at full price.
