Reviews

“The 2018 match engine is much improved. Aggressive batting appears less rigid than previous editions and batsmen also seem more intelligent than ever, reacting to field settings as opposed to smashing the ball anywhere on the field. Returners and newcomers, be prepared to be stunned by an impressive volume of statistics and minute details which help to subtly enhance a 20-year-old idea.”
Wisden

“Whether you're playing against the intuitive AI or against other players online, Cricket Captain's challenges are alluring and the ultimate release for multitudes of armchair critics. Limited-overs batting is much improved in the latest version, particularly in 50-over cricket.”
CricInfo

“The wealth of stats and immersive nature of the gameplay means diehards will be able to gorge themselves on what they know and love, while newcomers will be able to pick it up with ease.”
8/10 – The Cricketer
