Cricket 19
Cricket 19 was a massive outing for Big Ant Studios as it was one of their most big-budget titles to date and it shows the level of production value on display. Authentic likenesses and stadiums go a long way in immersing players in the game and the extremely large roster of teams and players certainly help too.
The base cricket-engine is still pretty strong and Big Ant has made several leaps in terms of polish and refinement. The game stands as one of the most polished cricket games currently available and a must-have for fans.

Cricket 22
Big Ant Studios’ last big release, the game is perhaps the most stacked in terms of value to the player – be it the large roster, teams, or the emphasis on customization. Although, the game received fairly mixed reviews on the back of a lack of polish in key areas of the game such as the core gameplay mechanics.
Still, if it’s the latest cricket game you’re looking for, and something with big production value and scale, then this is the game for you.
