Masterstroke: Cricket Manager puts you in charge of a cricket team, and later a country. Build the squad, set the field, plan every delivery and answer to a board that expects results. A deep cricket management game for fans who think they can coach better.

PICK YOUR LEAGUE
Start in one of five T20 leagues set in India, Pakistan, Australia, South Africa and England, each with its own teams, rules, money and calendar. Build your squad in a live cricket auction with retentions and Right to Match cards, or in a snake draft. Some leagues add 100-ball cricket, impact substitutes or a Power Surge.

COACH EVERY BALL
Every match plays out ball by ball on an animated pitch in a real stadium. With the ball, pick the length on a pitch map, the line, over or round the wicket, the pace, swing, cutters or spin variations, and how often to bowl the plan. Drag all nine fielders where you want them. With the bat, set each batter's approach, the side he looks to score on and how hard the pair runs. Your calls change what happens on the next ball, and the commentary tells you why. Or simulate a match instantly when you just want the result.

T20, ODI AND TEST CRICKET
Win at club level and national teams come calling. Coach one of 12 nations through T20 Internationals, ODIs and five-day Test matches with declarations, follow-ons, rain and day/night pink-ball Tests. Chase World Cups, continental cups and a two-year Test championship, and climb the world rankings. Rising nations can earn Test status and qualify for World Cups.

RUN THE CLUB (OPTIONAL)
Switch on Club Finances to run the money too: build the stadium, training complex and youth academy, hire staff, choose a sponsor, and qualify for a champions tournament against the best clubs from every league.

A CAREER THAT LASTS
Train your squad every day and manage form, morale, fitness and injuries. Young players develop, veterans retire and new talent comes through. Trade players between seasons. Meet the board's targets or lose your job, then take an offer from another club in any league, or coach a club and a country at the same time.
