Cricket Manager 27

Cricket Manager 27 is a single-player cricket management simulation. Create a manager and take charge of a domestic club or an international side, guiding it through the cricket calendar and pursuing trophies across multi-season careers.

Build your career

Sign a contract and manage your career through objectives, inbox pressure and job moves, with a lasting trophy history. Set your XI and tactics, manage contracts and player development, and advance the calendar day by day. Winning can open up new opportunities, while poor results can bring questions from the board.

Domestic and international cricket

Lead a club through its season or manage a national side through bilateral tours, format rankings and major ICC events, including World Cups and championship pathways. The game covers Test, ODI and T20 cricket, each with its own preparation, selection and matchday demands.

Manage matchdays

Attend the toss and live match sessions, following limited-overs cricket ball by ball or first-class contests day by day. As play develops, adjust player temperament, bowling plans and field settings. You can simulate ahead to move through the calendar faster, or take more time over a final, a crisis or a career-defining offer.

Build and manage your squad

Develop a senior squad and youth players through the academy, send scouts into the transfer market, and balance your budget against the board’s expectations. Quarterly reviews, confidence zones and managerial pressure make board confidence a factor throughout each season.

The career hub

Between fixtures, manage your squad, transfers, academy, office, calendar and standings, and chat with players. The career interface is presented in 2D and supports keyboard and controller play.
