Do you love cricket?! I thought not! but in the event you said yes, good news!
Cricket 24 will include more licensed content than ever before, see below on that for details but it seems the game is now modelling itself FIFA everyones favourite money grabbing bastard.. the FIFA by EA not the probably terrible upcoming FIFA game by FIFA and friends.
I’d imagine this game sells like crazy where ever cricket is played and enjoyed, India, Pakistan, Australia, West indies, New Zealand, South Africa… I think ? Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and I googled the rest so here you go.. this lot!

The rest of us will likely miss out, its probably going to be like the baseball games where you figure you’ll try it out to see if you can hit a homerun (or a 6 in cricket (which I’m told is hitting the ball over the line without it touching the ground) - then when we either hit the 6 .. or more than likely not.. give up and move on .. die hards however will probably love this game, I put it in the same realm as the AFL, Rugby and similar like games with casuals looking but die hards loving..
IGN wroteCricket 24 is being pitched as having “more licenses that any cricket game ever.” Major cricket nations including Australia, England, West Indies, New Zealand, and Ireland will be included, with apparently more to be announced. Cricket 24 will also feature The Ashes, the BBL and WBBL, The Hundred, the Caribbean Premier League, and an unspecified number of “professional Indian T20 teams” that are also yet to be announced. There will be over 50 official stadiums.
A new mode called Pro Team will allow players to build cricket dream teams of global superstars to compete in challenges and play online, and appears inspired by EA’s success with FIFA Ultimate Team.
