All You Need To Know About The Latest Cricket Draft App Updates!
Since the ‘soft launch’ of the app at the end of March, we have been working exceptionally hard behind the scenes to make sure our vision of creating the most cutting edge fantasy cricket game out there, becomes a reality. We are getting ever closer to achieving this goal…
Building on the addition of ‘Player Profiles’, ‘Playing Discs’ and ‘Improved Transfer Logic’, our latest app update will see a variety of substantial upgrades in both the user interface and experience, we hope you’ll agree!
Below we are highlighting the major changes, but there have also been a number of smaller bug fixes and design improvements that will all hopefully continue to increase your enjoyment of our new app.
There is also PLENTY more to come, with ‘Player Watchlist’, ‘Game Notifications’ and ‘Player Value Changes’ — all on their way.
MAKE SURE YOU GO STRAIGHT TO THE APP STORE OR GOOGLE PLAY STORE TO GET THE LATEST APP UPGRADE! (Links can be found at the bottom of this article)
As always we do appreciate your feedback so please do send us any comments to: support@thecricketdraft.com
Swipe Button
You now have a nice smooth entry into the game through a swipe ‘PLAY’ button.
Players Page
Previously you will have found yourself needing to release a player in your squad to search for potential new signings to your team. Now you can peruse fresh talent until your heart is content by accessing the new ‘PLAYERS’ page.
All you need to do is go through the following steps to find it:
On the ‘DASHBOARD’ page press the ‘MORE’ button in the bottom right hand corner:
Once you are on the ‘MORE’ page you will then see a ‘PLAYERS’ section at the top of the page:
Press the ‘PLAYERS’ page and you will find the full list of players from that tournament for you to be able to search through. You can also add them to your squad with ease, by just pressing the ‘ADD TO SQUAD’ button which will enable you to replace one of your players or add them to your squad if you have a gap in your line-up.
Remember if you want to ‘go back’ on your signing, you can. All you need to do is release the player you have signed and replace them with the player you originally had in, then press ‘SAVE’ and you will have you transfer back ready to be used again.
List View
If you are on your squad page you will now see that you will have a ‘LIST’ option added to the page:
If you press on ‘LIST’, this will enable you to see your current squads full information to either compare players performances, before you make changes &/or check on their future GWs as a group:
You can also make changes to your squad by pressing on the three dots next to the players name to enable you to access their profile, make a substitute, make a transfer & release a player.

With the ever increasingly congested cricket schedule sometimes making it very difficult to keep up with which players are available, we felt it important to help users with this particular issue. There will now be an icon appearing next to a player that will highlight if they are at an ‘Alternative Competition’, ‘Injured’ or ‘Rested’.
Above is how the icon will appear next to the player throughout the game, with the ‘Player Profile’ page providing the information behind the icon:
Extra Filter Options
On the ‘PLAYERS’ page you now have another way to filter players — through their clubs. Press on the ‘CLUB’ & ‘ALL’ dropdown and you will now have the ability to select a variety of clubs to compare and contrast their players:
Once you press ‘GO’ all the players from the Clubs you have selected will appear:
You can make the filter even more efficient than this by selecting, positions, values and clubs to bring the group down to an either more exclusive group:
So, these are the major changes in the new App Update and we will be continuing to add improvements until we succeed in making the perfect fantasy cricket game!
There is also SO much more to come alongside the app updates….We have recently worked alongside the ECB in producing the ‘Ultimate Picks’ game (you can still win prizes, even if you are yet to enter — see the link below), the web version is now under construction, which we are hoping to be live for the BBL tournament & our new DUELS concept is being worked on!
