How to play
The long game
A strong club isn’t built in one innings. Scout your next star, develop your squad and make the decisions that turn a promising team into a lasting contender.
Cricket Manager is a multiplayer cricket management game. You run the club; the simulation brings your plans to life, ball by ball.
01 / Team management
Train your squad
Build a team with players from around the world. Scout the transfer market, develop their strengths through training and nurture the next generation in your academy.
02 / Match preparation
Set your tactics
Choose your lineup, captain, keeper and match orders. Balance player fitness with pitch conditions and the demands of each format.
03 / Match simulation
Follow every ball
See your decisions play out through ball-by-ball simulation. Follow the commentary, inspect the scorecard and learn where your plan worked—or where the next match needs a different approach.
04 / Competition
Leagues, cups & friendlies
Compete against other managers in leagues, chase a cup run or arrange a friendly. Build your club’s reputation over a season, not just a single result.
