Cricket Manager will be similar in many respects to my existing cricket game International Test Cricket. If you are unfamiliar with International Test Cricket a shareware version can be downloaded. I hope to add some of the management features that are included in games like International Cricket Captain by Empire and many football management games.

Planned Features: Features listed here may not make it in final product. Some features may be restricted or disabled in the shareware version. Features listed in green are ones that I either initially forgot about or have been suggested. If you think of a feature not current listed please submit it on the Wish List.
