About this game

Cricket Captain 2020 is the perfect companion if you are missing live matches, as the hugely anticipated season is disrupted. With the incredibly exciting 2019 World Cup and the fiercely fought Australia tour of England, a legion of fans have been attracted to the sport. The inaugural 100 ball competition promised to provide great entertainment for those new converts, and the first test-match championship was well under way. After canvassing our players, we have decided to create the 2020 season as it was originally intended, in all its glory.

Rain delays in one-day and 20 over matches have been introduced, including the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern system to calculate run-chase targets. There are also extensive additions to the database, including additional season by season player records.

The new 100 ball competition in England has been added, including updates to the match engine, AI and stats systems to accommodate the new format. Updates to domestic systems around the world have also been incorporated, including major changes to the competitions in Australia, South Africa, Bangladesh, Pakistan and India. Captains will also be able to switch between domestic teams in different countries for the first time.

Cricket Captain 2020 also features a full database update (over 7,000 players, including every historical international player), with improved player ability generation, using data from every form of cricket and with input from a team of researchers around the world. The database provides the attention to detail that the series is famed for.

Cricket Captain is unrivalled in cricket management simulation, and Cricket Captain 2020 improves the series once again. Put your tactical expertise to the test in the number one cricket management game.

Ratings and reviews

Disappointing, especially considering all the delays in release. Not much has changed in gameplay, graphics haven't been updated since 2008, there's an occasional bug where you can't save your custom field placings and it seems the difficulty has been ramped up compared to previous editions. I love this series but it's lucky that it's the only game of it's kind on the market.

The game is horrifically unrealistic. Lack of playet control means the game is in control too much. Numerous times i was in outrageously commanding positions, eg; batting and requiring 14 off 25 balls in the 100 competition, 3 wickets down and lost, without losing a wicket! A maiden over was bowled. This happens to frequent and I've changed approaches without any success. Hugely frustrating

Hello Developers, Iam truely a big fan of this game. I enjoy and some times frustrate by the score etc. There are some features that would be great for the game. 1. Please add a stats for players that shows the most runs scored in which position they bat. 2. When selecting players for national team, I cannot understand the players who have scored better in domestic leagues. Please add an advanced filter for players performed well in leagues. Thank you
