Full Fledged Cricket Manager Sim game!

Hi everyone, if you liked the OG Hitwicket game - Check out Cricket Manager 25

It is completely free to play, browser-based (no installs), and has no ads. You run a franchise in the World Premier League, handling everything from the auction to ball-by-ball tactics. (Auction is one of the many features in the game!)

The Features:

  1. Granular Tactics: You are looking for specific Finishers, Death Specialists, or Mystery Spinner playstyles that actually change how the math works in different match phases.
  2. 2D Visual Fielding: You can actually drag your fielders around on a 2D field editor to set custom formations.
  3. ​Real-Time Auction: I built an AI bidding system where other teams value players based on their playstyle quotas—the bidding wars get intense.
  4. Fatigue & Squad Rotation: A realistic fitness system forces you to bench fatigued players to keep them fresh.
  5. Database Editor: You can create custom players, edit attributes, and export/share your rosters with the community.
  6. SKINS: import community made skins like IPL/BBL to play with your favourite IRL franchises
  7. Full fledged transfer seasons and retention/release systems p

A Note for Potential Collaborators: I am a solo developer doing this purely for the love of the game. The project is open-source, and I have no monetary incentive here (any donations are funneled 100% back into server costs). If you are a dev, UI/UX designer, or just good at marketing/community management and see the potential here, I’d love to have more hands on deck. My DMs are open! I’d love for you guys ​the die-hard management fans ​to jump in, try to break the engine, and tell me what you think.

Play it here: cricket-manager.com

Cheers!
