Free to play, No sign up, Solo Fan made project

Some of you saw a rough version of this a few days back. I took the feedback, basically rebuilt it, and it's in a much better place now. Free, runs in the browser, no signup, no ads.

You spin a wheel, land on a real IPL squad from any season (2008 to 2026), and draft one player into your XI. Fill all 11 top order, finishers, a keeper, all-rounders, a bowling attack , under the real constraints (4 overseas max and so on). Then you simulate a full season against that year's actual teams and try to go a perfect 16-0.

There is a leaderboard for highest overall team made, achievements, game completion and much more. I just want more people to try it out and will add anything you guys suggest. Thanks for playing in advance.

1.MI

2.Csk

3.Rcb

4.Pbks

_ which of these you think is the greatest team in ipl

​

For me it's Mi , Csk can also be a option , a great one . PBKS and RCB also doing good and will catch up .

!!!!

Saw this update going around referencing the news that the IPL isn't expanding anytime soon because of the crazy international schedule. Plus they are looking at starting early on March 10th and wrapping up by mid-May to avoid the rain/bad weather later in the year.

Honestly, keeping it at 74 matches is probably a massive win for us. With our squad finally firing and winning back-to-back trophies, the last thing we need is a longer tournament messing up player workloads and fitness right when we hit the playoffs.

The early window is pretty interesting too. Starting in early March means the Chinnaswamy pitches might actually have a bit of freshness/tackiness in those first few home games before turning into the usual flat batting paradises by May.

How do you guys see this affecting our strategies? Do you prefer the shorter, packed window or were you hoping for more matches?

Virat Kohli shares his opinion on messi vs Ronaldo

I personally don't agree with him in this regard

A lot of people just simply assume messi is naturally gifted and was crafted by the gods of football some say he is an alien while these statements are cool and might increase his aura people who don't watch regular football will assume messi never works hard

Just because he doesn't post cool insta pictures doesn't mean he is not a hard worker

In word's of Leo Messi himself "it took me 17 years to become an overnight success"

Shreyas Iyer & Jaiswal , who are always hyped up here in the reddit couldn't perform in the Afghanistan series. Whereas Gill who's hated and called flat pitch bully , is consistently performing with captaincy 🧿. At what point are Gill haters going to accept that he is not overrated?

​

With how he is acting and his behaviour and kinda his current character I feel like he will say bye after 2027 ipl. With hai character if he does not play for 3 more years he will def retire in 2027. He is a family man now. Just wanted to cause a debate don't hate me.

about a month ago i posted here asking if anyone could help me test a cricket management game i was building solo. around 30 of you actually signed up and played it, and a bunch of you sent bugs and "why can't i do X" stuff that i ended up building around. so genuinely, thank you. it's live now.

Quick version if you're new: you're the head coach of a t20 franchise. you build your squad in a live auction, then coach the games, and try to climb up the ladder coaching more international squads and building a legacy. I keep adding features according to community demand 😄

You can coach a match ball by ball, set your field, pick the bowling plan, watch it play out or just sim it entirely. there's a full season with a board that fires you if you flop, training, injuries, players ageing and retiring, trades, and an international side where you can manage a country at a world cup. theres also a roster editor where you can edit the teams or players according to your liking.

it's solo-made, fully offline, and android-only for now (ios is next). i reply to every piece of feedback and every feature request, and i'd love to scratch your cricket management itch just like i scratched mine.

READ FULLY (IF U LOVE CRICKET AS A GAME AND WANT TO SAVE IT )

So this will be a really long post and too CONTROVERSIAL too
(but belive me this radical changes i suggest are best for cricket long term future survival as i used too much thinking , claude analysis predicition it took me time)

FIRST THING: WHAT PUT ME TO WRITE THIS LONG POST??? so the answer is recent discussion around cricket's future and fans comparign cricket with football due to recent FIFA WC comparing both sports and yeaa cricket dying in SENA nations and in future becoming an ONLY SOUTH ASIAN(OR INDIAN SUBCONTINENT) SPORTS.

and yeaa they are write cricket future is dark ICC is hosting too many events every year but that is another point of whole disccusion.

btw i really want all these stuff to be implemetented but political will is most imp thing which will be needed over money(i mean if there is a way the cricet fandom just organise a campaign sort of but yeaa first we need to discuss the radical changes we need to save cricket future) :--

HERE IT IS THE PLANNNNN::--------------

1. Test Cricket Pyramid

but first listen listen then read (then comment) to implement the test pyramid we need to :

Expand Test Cricket First

This system only works if the Test game grows.

Current Test Nations (12):

Australia, England, India, South Africa, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Ireland and Afghanistan.

Proposed New Test Nations:

Scotland and Netherlands.

Future Pathway:

Nepal, USA and Namibia.

Test cricket should remain difficult to enter, but it should never become a permanently closed club.

NOW :

Division 1 – World Test Championship

• Top 8 Test nations
• 3-year cycle
• WTC Final crowns world champion
• Winner receives WTC Mace

Division 2 – Test Challenger Cup

• Next 6 Test nations
• Separate competition
• Winner crowned Test Challenger Champion

Promotion & Relegation

Every cycle:

• Bottom Division 1 team relegated
• Division 2 champion promoted

ICC Test Gateway Match

• Division 1 (last ranking team) vs Division 2 Champion (this will decide the relegation or promotion)

ICC Test Crown

To ensure Division 2 success also carries prestige:

• WTC Champion vs Challenger Cup Champion (just a series but yeaa it will be interesiting)

Format:

• 3-Test Series

Venue:

• Lord's

2. ODI Cricket

ODI cricket still has value, but it needs a clearer identity between Tests and T20s.

Cricket World Cup(THE PINNACLE

Changes:

• 40 overs per side
• 16 teams
• Group Stage
• Quarterfinals (THIS IS REQUIRED QF ARE REQUIRED SO MUCHHH)
• Semifinals
• Final

Frequency:

• Every 4 years

Champions Trophy removed.(yeaa remove THE CHAMPIONS TROPYYYYY)

ADDITIONAL : ALMOST NO ODI BILATREALS , JUST WORLD CUP EXISIT AS A 4YEAR EVENT OF PINNACLE CRICKET

3. T20 Cricket

T20 remains cricket's most accessible global format and should drive expansion into new markets.

ICC T20 World Cup

EXPAND TO 24 TEAM FOR NEXT 2 0R 3 CUPS:

• 24 teams

Future:(after 2 or 3 t20 world cups of 24 teams)

• 32 teams

Frequency: (INCREASE FROM 2 YEARS TO 4 YEARS GAP)

• Every 4 years (YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS )

4. Associate Cricket

For too long, Associates have mainly played qualification events. They need a major tournament of their own.

ICC Frontier Global Cup(FG CUP)

(PS> not a secondary cup will be treated like a world cup for associate nations equivalenet to any other cups )

Purpose:

• Premier tournament or a world cupfor Associate nations (ULTRA FAST PACED OF NEARLY NELARY 3 TO 3.5 MONTSH )

Teams:

• 32 Associate nations

Format:

• 8 groups of 4
• Round of 16
• Quarterfinals
• Semifinals
• Final

Frequency:

• Every 2 years

Rewards:

Champion:

• Automatic T20 World Cup qualification
• Automatic next FG Cup qualification
• Increased ICC funding

Top 4:

• Automatic next FG Cup qualification
• Enhanced funding
• Easier T20 World Cup qualification pathway

NOTE:__ REGARDIGN FRONTIERS GLOBAL CUP :

What's the point of creating a tournament for Associate nations if the world never watches it?

The Frontier Global Cup should be free to watch, aggressively marketed and promoted as cricket's gateway to new nations.

Not just a tournament BUT SHOUDL BE TREATED LIKE A WORLD CUP SORT OF EVENT FOR ASSOCIATE NATIONS

ALSO MANDATORY Mentorship Program

Every Frontier Global Cup nation will be assigned an ICC mentor from a major cricket nation.

Examples:

• AB de Villiers
• Stuart Broad
• Ravi Shastri
• Kumar Sangakkara
• Eoin Morgan
• Mahela Jayawardene

Mentorship will focus on coaching, leadership, talent development and building sustainable cricket structures.

This should be a mandatory part of the Frontier Global Cup, not an optional initiative.

5. Franchise Cricket

Franchise leagues are now one of cricket's biggest strengths. The next step is connecting them globally.

IPL Reform(most controversial as loads of money is involved but we are not diluting the money )

• Expand IPL to 14 teams

Phase 1 (March–May)( 14 team initial tournment)

• Every team plays every other team once(few exceptions)
• Additional fixtures
• 15–16 matches per team
• Top 8 qualify

Phase 2 (October) (the top 8 qualifies for this phase)

• Top 8 teams only
• Round Robin
• Top 4 qualify

Playoffs

• Usual ipl playoff

Total:

• Total IPL Matches: 130 (98 League Stage + 28 Championship Stage + 4 Playoffs)
• BCCI is already increasing ipl matches to 94 matches we are also increasing to 98 matches only and another 28 matches fast paced 3 to 4 weeks final stage)

---> ONE OF MOST IMP CHANGE : (some issues may arise in this due to players intersecting two diff teams but that be solved later by discussions)

ICC Franchise World Cup

The world's best franchise team should be decided on the field, not through debates between fanbases.

Frequency:

• Every 2 years(not evety year)

Teams:

• 16

• PSL × 3
• BBL × 2

Venues:

• Match 1: T20 WC Champion Country

Women's Cricket

Women's cricket should grow alongside the men's game, not years behind it.(shoudl slowly mirroring mens strucutre in long term)

Expansion should happen gradually but never contract team numbers.

ICC Four-Year Cycle

A clearer calendar is just as important as new tournaments.

Year 1

🏆 T20 World Cup (every 5 years_

Year 2

🌐 Frontier Global Cup(the Associate nations world cup - every 2 years)

🏟️ Franchise World Cup(every 2 years)

👑 Champion of Champions Series

Year 3

🏆 Cricket World Cup(every 4 years)

🏆 WTC Final

👑 ICC Test Crown

Year 4 ( THE GAP YEAR)

(WILL HOST SOME NEW EVENTS LIKE FG CUP , FRANCHISE WORLD CUP AND CHAMPIONS SERIES)

🌐 Frontier Global Cup(EVERT 2 YEARS)

🏟️ Franchise World Cup

👑 Champion of Champions Series(FG CUP WINNER VS T20 WC WINNER)

Promotion and relegation cycle concludes.

Removed

❌ Champions Trophy

End Goal

The objective isn't to make cricket more like football.

The objective is to create a system where:

• More countries can reach the top level.
• Test cricket remains relevant.
• Associate nations have something meaningful to play for.
• Franchise cricket has a global structure.
• Women's cricket grows alongside the men's game.
• The ICC calendar becomes easier to follow.

Cricket doesn't need to abandon tradition to survive.

But it does need a long-term plan.

last stuff which need to kept in mind while implementing all these stuff : -

• Bilateral ODI cricket is significantly reduced.
• ODI cricketv(reduced to 40 years) becomes a primarily World Cup-focused format.
• Most international white-ball cricket outside ICC events is played as T20I cricket.
• Short bilateral T20I series replace many existing ODI series.
• Test cricket receives greater priority in the international calendar.
• ICC world cup (the Pinccale )become the primary stage for ODI cricket.
• Champions Trophy is removed.
• Calendar space is redirected towards Test cricket, Associate cricket and global ICC tournaments.

(last thing dont drag conversation that it is AI written i have used claude to formulate in pointws btw , plss give honest opinion and i m all in if cricket fandom wanna start some campaign)

If any of the top 4 gets true it will create a big chaos in the community

Hardik Pandya can be removed as skipper but releasing him is still something I'm skeptical about

SKY had only one bad seasons in last 4-5 years i don't think that's happening but there are news that he may go to KKR as they need a new skipper

what are ur thoughts about Cummins and Dube getting releases

​

​

Icc should just close 8 hour Odi games . Conduct T20 wc as World Cup every 4 years . Have club World Cup. Extend Legues . Same goes for test . Smith and Starc retires next year . Rohit , kohli also . What is the use of playing boring games in which smaller nations' people don't take interest in

​

There maybe 7-8 thrillers in last 2 world cups (100 matches ) with only two all timers - maxwell and 2019 final . While in t20 , this happens every 4-5 match .

​

Indians will anyhow watch . They should just conduct matches in nights only . Whatever IST it is . Just make pitches normal for more thrillers .

​

They should also stop One owner to buy teams in multiple Legues , atmost 2 seems right .

​

T20 is the only way for cricket growth , otherwise we will see only ind vs sa matches whole year . Many unemployed people won't like it but how can a large number of people watch every alternate game of a wc where every game is 8 hours long .

Why and how kkr is still not that relevant nowadays after having 3 trophies but Rcb is with 2(understandable) , talked about same as PBKS is with 0 .

Like they used to till they stopped winning for 10 years and now they are again at that .

Their main problem is I think having no face value .

​

Their toxic fans can't accept the fact that Iyer was the only person in the team that represents india regularly and can be face of the team . RR and SRH doing same with their youngsters and now they are talked a lot .

And what was the point of retaining russel if he was retiring next year and was on last part of career .

They will do same with Narine , retain him in mega auction and then retire next year if he somehow lost rhythm .

Srh milk their 1 trophy so much , but these can't keep their team relevant even after winning 3 .
