## What is Cricket Club Manager?

Run a cricket club from the bottom division to the top, one decision at a time.
Cricket Club Manager is a pixel-art management game where every result is yours to own. Pick the XI, set the order, choose the field, make the bowling change you'll defend or regret — then watch it play out ball by ball and live with what happens. No random collapses to blame. Just your call, the pitch, and the scoreboard.
Pick your nation — India, England, Australia, Pakistan, the West Indies, ten in all — each with its own league and its own clubs. Start in the lower divisions with a modest budget and a stand that leans. Turn raw academy kids into stars you'll recognise a decade later. Raid a rival's best batter, or watch them come for yours.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Captain every match — batting order, bowling rotation, field presets, aggression, DRS reviews, all adjustable mid-innings
• Watch your players actually grow — visible form, breakout seasons, late bloomers, traits with personality
• Work a two-way transfer market — sign free agents, poach a rival's star, bring the academy through
• Run the club — finances, coaches, stadium, and a home pitch you re-lay to suit your bowlers — without a paywall in sight
• Ride out a season of moments — scandals, derby weeks, rain delays, a journalist after dressing-room colour
• Or live one career: be the cricketer, earn the armband, manage your legs, chase the World T20
MANAGER OR PLAYER
Run the whole club as gaffer, or take the other chair and live a single career — one cricketer, match fees, the long wait for the armband. Same league underneath. Different view from the boundary.
BEYOND THE LEAGUE
Win your top division and you're into the Champions Series — ten national champions, one bracket, no second innings to bail you out. Every other season your country calls: the World T20 Championship, ten nations, your best against the world's.
A CABINET WORTH DUSTING
Every title earns its keep. Unlock vintage legends across all ten nations, install a patron, and turn a good season into a dynasty. The Pavilion remembers what you did — the tea hut hangs your photo without asking.
FAIR BY DESIGN
Season one is spotless — no ads, no timers, no nonsense. After that it's still free, with one ad between match weeks you can switch off forever for $2.99. No energy. No premium currency. No pay-to-win, ever — in-game money is earned and spent in-game, full stop. Difficulty comes from your decisions, not your wallet. One optional $1.99 editor renames, rebadges and recolours the whole league.
Built for one-handed play, offline-first, with iCloud saves so a career survives a new phone.
A proper cricket management game. Honest timber off the club rack — middles true if you do.

### 5/5 — Nice game but

*2026-08-09*

It’s a really good and addictive game but I think features like international tournaments and friendly should be there so players can play for their nation

### 4/5 — Fix bugs

*2026-07-04*

This game is so good but it has a lot of bugs.in player career mode we can’t play as a batter because there are not enough wicket keepers.we also cannot assign players so we get soft locked.

**Developer response:** You weren't imagining it, and thank you! This review helped us track down a real bug. When the coach benched your batter, forcing you back into the team could kick out the only wicketkeeper and jam the team sheet with no way to fix it. That's repaired in 1.0.2: the XI always stays legal now, and you can manage your team in the cup competitions too.

### 5/5 — How to increase stamina

*2026-07-03*

Nice game with excellent info but I don’t know how to increase stamina of my player in player career mode

**Developer response:** Great question! Your review helped shape the update that answers it. As of 1.0.2: set your weekly focus to FITNESS for a triple-recovery week, ask the coach for a week off when you're worn under 50, and the physio block in your career hub still restores you to full once a season. Tired legs play tired cricket, so now you can do something about it. Thanks for the kind review!

### 5/5 — For the real fans

*2026-07-01*

I’ve been playing this nonstop for the past few days and I cannot get enough. This is exactly the kind of cricket game I’ve wanted for a long time. I hope they add a bit more features and do some tweaking with updates in the future, but I’m so glad this exists. I love the way it looks and it is very fun to play!

**Developer response:** This is the review I was hoping someone would write one day! The whole game exists because I wanted exactly this and couldn't find it. Glad it found a real fan. Enjoy the climb, and thanks for taking the time to write this.
