Besides having these features, it also has a mode called Career, allowing players to either start a career as a rookie or play as an existing established cricketer.
2. Big Bash Boom
Big Bash Boom is a Cricket game released way back in 2018. Initially, it was only released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One but later it was launched for Nintendo Switch and PC as well. As mentioned above, it was the first major Cricket game released by Big Ant Studios.

3. Ashes Cricket
