Cricket Captain 2022

Cricket Captain 2022 puts you in charge of a cricket team as you manage it through domestic and international competition. The 2022 season includes the 20 over World Cup and crucial internationals, overseen by a new England management structure. You can also switch between domestic and international teams within a save.

Manage batting and coaching

A reworked batting aggression system gives every player separate aggression ratings for First Class and Limited Over matches. It models strike rates, boundary hitting and accumulation, while expanded batting specialism options let you coach aggression and opener types. In limited-over matches, reduced new-ball impact and swing, along with quicker settling by batsmen, make collapses less prevalent.

Matches and tournaments

The match engine has been improved using statistical analysis and user feedback. You can play stand-alone One Day or 20 Over World Cups, create World XIs and All-Time Greats, and set up Custom Match Series. Test and ODI Championships are updated for the 2022 season.

Teams and season data

The game includes updated domestic competition formats and squads for England and India, including India’s new 20 Over format. Domestic teams in India and Bangladesh have updated kits, and stadium models reflect ground changes. New player generation is rebalanced around real youth player abilities.

The 2022 database includes over 7,000 players and updated domestic squads for all 150 playable domestic teams. It adds international home and away player statistics, recent series stats for all players, and updated versus, ground and team records, including partnerships, bowling and batting records, and Fastest 50s and 100s.
