CricSim puts you in charge of a cricket team and lets you take it as far as you can. Pick a franchise in the Indian T20 League, or lead a nation on the world stage. Draft your squad, work out your best eleven, and find out whether your plan survives contact with match day. THREE FORMATS, PLAYED PROPERLY T20, ODI and Test cricket, each with its own rhythm. Test matches run over five days and three sessions, so you can declare, enforce the follow on, or dig in and save the draw. ODIs give you the powerplay and the death overs. T20 brings the impact sub and the super over. TWO WAYS TO BUILD A CAREER Take a franchise through a full league season, fourteen rounds and into the playoffs. Or manage a national side through a world tournament, or a bilateral series of one, three or five matches against a single rival. DRAFT THE SQUAD YOU WANT Start with the current squads, or open the mega draft and build yours from scratch. Want something bigger? Draft from pools of all time greats in T20, ODI or Test cricket. Then name your captain, your vice captain and your keeper. CALL EVERY BALL, OR NONE OF THEM Step into the match hub and run it yourself. Set the aggression, choose your bowler, decide who walks in after a wicket. Or hand it to the engine and come back for the scorecard. MAKE THE NAMES YOUR OWN Export the player list, rename anyone you like in a spreadsheet, and bring it back in. Your squad, your names. KEEP THE DYNASTY GOING Follow the table, watch your net run rate, pore over the season stats. Decide who to keep between seasons and who to let go. Then go again. No ads. No pay to win. Just cricket.
