Cricket Captain 2025

Cricket Captain 2025 is a cricket team-management game where you build a squad and guide it through domestic and international seasons. Test cricket is central to the packed 2025 international calendar, which includes Australia versus South Africa in the World Test Championship final, India’s tour of England and England’s tour of Australia.

Manage your team

You can edit players’ batting, bowling, fielding, aggression and opener type without giving up the core player-selection gameplay. Player generation has also been rebalanced, with more focus on 20 Over skills. The database contains over 8,000 players, updated stats for all match types, recent series stats for every player and domestic squads for all 156 playable domestic teams. It also includes individual international season batting and bowling records, as well as international teams’ most-wickets and most-runs season stats.

Matches and tournaments

The match engine has been adjusted to balance scoring rates and wicket chances in 20 Over games, and runs faster to move through matches and seasons more quickly. A faster score predictor provides quicker feedback, and commentary includes additional lines from Daniel Norcross. You can play ODI and 20 Over international tournaments, as well as standalone One Day, Asia Trophy and 20 Over World Cup tournaments. Tournament options also let you create World XIs, All-Time Great teams and custom match series.

Updated competitions

International team rankings use results from the last four years, and international player rankings have been updated with historical data. The Test Championship reflects the 2025 season, and domestic systems have been updated to the latest rules and formats. Pakistan’s domestic system adds 18 teams playing all three match types.
