Wicket Empire: Cricket Manager

WicketEmpire

About this game

Every ball. Every decision. Yours.

Wicket Empire is a cricket manager game where matches aren't a dice roll — they play out ball by ball, and you call every one. And from 1.3.0 it's a proper 50-year career: a real calendar, a job market, and a cricket world that keeps turning whether you win or not.

🗓️ CAREER MODE — NEW
• Build your manager: name, nationality (40+ nations), age 30–50, and a background with a real perk — Ex-player (the board gives you more rope), Coach (academy kids develop faster), Analyst (sharper scouting) or Businessman (better sponsor money)
• A real calendar. Seasons run 2026-27 onward across a 50-year career. Retire at 70 with a legacy ceremony — or keep going
• Hold three jobs at once: a club, a T20 franchise AND a national side, each in its own window of the year
• The phone rings when you've earned it. Job offers follow your reputation, and your own nation's side and leagues are the most likely to call
• Get sacked from one job and the rest of your career carries on. Never a dead end
• Your club players get called up by their country — one player, one career, everywhere they play

🔨 THE AUCTION — EVERY YEAR
Every franchise window opens with a live player auction. Retain your core, then outbid rival owners for the league's best players with a fixed purse. Rivals bid to real valuations and real squad needs. Going once… going twice… don't blink first.

🌍 THE WORLD STAGE
• Bilateral series against rival nations
• A T20 World Championship every two years and a 50-over World Cup every four
• World rankings that decide who qualifies
• Seven fictional T20 franchise leagues, from the Maharaja Premier T20 to the Southern Smash — 56 franchises, every name editable

🏏 BALL-BY-BALL MATCH CENTER
• Broadcast-style scorebug, live over strip and chase worm chart
• Win the toss after reading the pitch and forecast, pick who bowls every over, set batting aggression as the match swings
• Captain's Moments — big calls at big moments
• Record Watch storylines and chase pressure that makes weak batters wobble
• Rain interruptions with proper DLS revised targets
• Too busy for every ball? Highlights mode skips the quiet ones and slows down for the moments that matter

📋 REAL MANAGEMENT DEPTH
Transfer market, contracts, form and morale, injuries, a national-side Youth Academy where nobodies become legends, sponsors, board confidence, 80+ achievements, a Hall of Fame and career records — and a board that WILL sack you.

🎯 DAILY CHALLENGE
One chase a day, one attempt, build a streak. Then share the result card to WhatsApp, Instagram, wherever.

📦 YOUR CRICKET WORLD
The game ships with fictional names. Edit any player, team or league in-game, or export a Name Pack, edit it in any text editor and import it back — or grab one the community shared with a single link.

📴 OFFLINE & FAIR
Plays fully offline, no account needed. Auto-saves every ball, so if life interrupts mid-over you resume exactly where you left off. Free to play. Ads are light: the rewarded ones are optional, plus one at the end of a season.

T10, T20 and 50-over formats. Built by one cricket fan in Windhoek, Namibia, who wanted a proper cricket management game on his phone and couldn't find one. It's a new cricket game for Android in 2026, and every update since the first beta has come from tester feedback. Join the Discord and tell me what to build next: discord.gg/gq6vCsMCK2
