How a career plays

A career in six balls.

0.1Choose a nation

Giant or minnow?

Take over a giant with a deep squad and a board that expects to win, or a minnow with a thin squad and a long climb ahead. Rankings, budget and board targets vary by nation.

0.2Build your squad

Who's ready for the XI?

Players have their own technique, temperament and fitness, form that rises and falls, and a ceiling your scouts can only estimate. Sign the ones worth the risk and bring them on in training.

Pick the field.

Choose where to bowl on a five-by-five pitch board, pick a field from pictures and decide how hard to go after wickets. With the bat, set each batter's approach and how often to run. One tap applies it.

The big moments get a fuss.

Commentary calls each delivery as it happens, and milestones get a line of their own. Win the match and the confetti comes out.
