Club cricket

A club of your own: take over a franchise side, build its squad in the transfer market and the Academy, and take it through cups, leagues and the Ladder. The Ranked XI and the market

A club's team sheet: Mumbai Monsoons, the batting order with ratings and the bench — Your club's team sheet: the batting order, the bench and the Academy's slots.

The squad and the Academy

Players come and go through the transfer market: buy, sell or swap with the league's other sides. Young ones come through your Academy, with new prospects every Monday, and Journeys are how you raise them into first-team players.

The cups

Cup How it plays Clubs

Super Over ShootoutTwo groups of four, one over each. The top two in each go through to the semis: five games to lift it.8

Weekend BlitzA mini league of two-over games; the top two meet in the final.4

City LeagueFive-over games. Finish in the top four for the semis.6

Premier SeriesThe big one: eight strong clubs, ten-over games, the semis and a final.8

There are franchise seasons and a champions cup as well, each with its own save.

The Ladder

Ten divisions and Elite above them, climbed with ten-over games. A win is worth 100 Ladder Points (more on a streak), a tie 40, and a loss costs 50. Divisions 7, 4 and 1 are checkpoints: once you reach one, you can't fall below it. The week runs Monday to Sunday, and the best division you reached pays that week's reward. Play the computer, or Live 1v1 against another manager near your division for the same points. How to play Live 1v1

The Weekend Series

Six twenty-over games from Friday to Monday, with your Ranked XI: the side for the Ladder and the Weekend Series, picked from everyone you have. One cap for every club keeps it even. A star costs a lot, so he needs cheaper players round him. Win four Ladder games in the week to qualify; then each game can be against the computer or Live 1v1. How the Ranked XI works
