ICC Launches Global Bid to Develop Cricket Game

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has launched an Expression of Interest (EOI) process to identify a strategic partner for the development and publication of a new mobile cricket game.

In partnership with its 12 full-member boards, the proposed game is envisioned as a modern, top-tier mobile experience that celebrates cricket’s legacy while appealing to contemporary global audiences. 

“Cricket has one of the most passionate and diverse fanbases in global sport,” ICC Chairman Jay Shah said. “This project represents a unique opportunity and step forward to reimagine how cricket is experienced and celebrated in the digital world.”

Shah emphasized that the collaboration between the ICC and its Full Members underscores the scale and ambition of the initiative. “By bringing together the ICC and its Full Members, we are laying the foundation for a cricket game that engages the modern audience and reflects the global scale of our game,” he added.

The new cricket game, still in its conceptual phase, is expected to feature global stars, national teams, and potentially even popular domestic T20 leagues, depending on licensing negotiations. A formal tender process will follow the EOI, which closes on June 27, 2025.

The ICC is calling on visionary companies with the technical ability, creative vision, and commitment to excellence to join the effort in redefining cricket gaming.
