have ever seen. Enjoy the full licensed Ashes contest – the pinnacle of the
long-standing rivalry between Australia and England. In addition, contest
Australia’s big-hitting Big Bash T20 competition, the hugely innovative The
Hundred in England, the tropical party of the CPL in the Caribbean, and take to
the international field of battle with fully-licensed teams from Australia,
England, The West Indies, New Zealand and Ireland.
And, in keeping with Big Ant’s commitment to equality and equal
representation, both the Men’s and Women’s games have been replicated
across all of Cricket 22.
Cricket 22 also features a bevy of new innovations, including:
- All-new bowling and fielding controls; whether it’s a feisty fast
bouncer, or the satisfying “snap” as you hurl the ball from the infield for
a precision run-out, Cricket 22 features refined, tight controls that enable
you to play your best game of cricket.
- A deep, narrative-driven career mode; you are in control on and off the
field. You manage your training and press conferences, deal with injuries, and
decide your path towards international glory!

pro in no time.

team, featuring Michael Atherton, Ian Healy, Mel Jones, Alison Mitchell and
David Gower. Every shot will be called with greater depth and analysis than ever
before, and for the first time ever in a sports game, there will be an all-women
commentary team, further deepening the representation of women in the Cricket
22 experience.
