### 4/5 — Could be better

*2026-08-13*

Maybe in the free version you can play internationally forever because it is really hard to make an account for internet mode

### 5/5 — The few verision of cricket . One of the best  game 🤯😪🤬

*2026-06-30*

Ok. Satisifactory 🤗🤫

### 1/5 — Trust me never ever download this app

*2025-12-25*

This app is useless

### 1/5 — Refund Requested: Player Names Incorrect

*2025-12-14, version 1.9*

You changed the player names so now I literally have no idea who to select or who is who. This is (no offence) a joke and I demand a refund as the game that was advertised is not what I have access to at all.

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2025-11-21, version 1.9*

It’s fun I hope it will stop glitching every ball so it gets sickening

### 1/5 — Dropbox Sync not working

*2025-10-09, version 1.9*

Tried multiple dropbox accounts and multiple uninstalls and reinstalls but saved games just won’t sync

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-08-18*

Pretty rubbish game when it could and should be great seem to get torn apart when in bat and there is nothing to change apart from expected run rate which is already at a measly 2 an over even when you have the best batsmen the game makes them look like county u9 team, the training seems to do nothing cpu batsmen move all over the place to hit the ball mine stand there letting both go through to stumps unopposed, if I’m doing something wrong someone please tell me so I can enjoy the game.

### 1/5 — English bias

*2025-08-03*

Game designed by English folks to favour the English team’s performance regardless of the reality of English performances. Totally biased and unfair. With the overwhelming majority of cricket fans being Indian, your developers can’t hope to have a successful app generating sufficient revenue if the game is so unfavourably skewed towards artificial English success. I will never patronise this app ever again!

### 4/5 — Great game but the wrong names takes away from the game

*2025-08-03*

I wish that boards like CA and ECB didn’t make such a big deal about the names as this game was so much more fun with real player names

### 4/5 — Review of Cricket captain 24

*2025-07-27, version 1.9*

I think it’s good so that means ok must be good
