Wicket Empire: Cricket Manager

WICKET EMPIRE — A CRICKET GAME YOU PLAY BALL BY BALL

Open it and face six balls straight from the menu: no career, no sign-in, nothing saved. Read the ball, pick your shot, play it. Then build your cricketer and earn a place in the XI, or take a club into a live player auction. Every ball is yours. No energy, no timers, and it plays offline.

✨ NEW IN 2.1
• A new world: players inspired by today's game, rated from real stats. Old careers can take the real names in Settings
• Chase the legends: pass the great run-scorers one by one, with a rival your own age to beat
• Missions and a free Season 1 pass of things to wear: helmets, kits, card frames and titles
• Bowlers pick the ball: find the batter's weakness
• Awards Night at the end of every season, and a trophy cabinet
• Faster between matches: walk straight out, or sim until you're picked
• Fewer ads: at most one between seasons
• A shop of looks, the Supporter pack and the Founder's Pack. Looks only: nothing sold changes a ball

🏏 PLAYER CAREER — BE ONE CRICKETER
• Read the ball before you face it: loose, testing or dangerous. A crafty bowler can hide it
• Pick your shot: leave, defend, drive, cut, flick, loft or sweep. Or set how hard you go with the dial
• Your chance of getting out and your strike rate are on screen before every ball
• Earn your place: the coach picks on merit. Club, then franchise, then your country
• Test cricket at the crease: bat both innings, and declare when the armband is yours
• Captain? Pick the bowler, set the field
• Seven archetypes, from the Wall to the Destroyer, the Quick and the Spinner. Skills with five ranks each, and a ceiling nothing can buy past
• Retire, then play on as his son, or take a club as its manager

🎮 MANAGER CAREER — RUN THE EMPIRE
• Play every ball in the Match Center, or let Highlights stop only for the moments that matter
• Win the live player auction against seven rival owners who bid to real needs, and bid back
• Hold a club, a T20 franchise and a national side at once. Boards set objectives, and every board sacks you eventually
• Tests with declarations and the follow-on, where a draw is a real result
• Transfers, contracts, form, injuries, a youth academy, sponsors and 120+ achievements

🏟️ A GAME THAT LOOKS THE PART
• The field drawn on your card with every stroke as a line, a wagon wheel for every knock, a crest for every club
• A crowd that roars at a six, groans at a wicket and gets louder as a chase gets tight
• Grounds by country, from Chennai to Cape Town. Read the pitch report and the par score, win the toss, then choose: bat or bowl
• A story that remembers: your first cap, the day you are dropped, the title you win, and a Hall of Fame for every career that ends
• Share your knock: a hundred, a fifty or a five-for becomes a card you can send anywhere
• Play it sideways: landscape layouts for phones and tablets
• Google Play Games cloud saves and world leaderboards, if you want them

🌍 A WORLD THAT KEEPS PLAYING
42 countries, 56 franchises, 120 clubs and thousands of players, each with a career that already happened, carrying on whether you watch or not. Every name is editable: export a name pack, edit it, import it back, or load one the community shared.

⏳ A CRICKET GAME, NOT A WAITING GAME
• No energy bars, no timers, and nothing sold changes a ball: the shop sells looks only
• Light ads: a rewarded ad only when you choose one, and at most one between seasons. Never mid-over, and never on your first day
• Plays offline and saves every ball

🏆 EVERY FORMAT
T10, T20, 50-over, four-day first-class and five-day Tests, tuned against 918 real Test matches.

🎯 DAILY CHALLENGE
One chase a day, one attempt. Share the card.
