by Lordtoto01 / Articles, Game Controls & Hotkeys, Misc. Guides / 01 Jan 2022

Cricket is the world’s second most popular sport, with over 2.5 billion fans spread across multiple countries (Australia, UK, India, Asia, etc.). It’s only natural that such a well-known sport should have a video game adaptation.

Big Ant Studios’ Cricket 2022 is the sequel to Cricket 2019 and includes several feature matches from the last two Ashes series. Other developments include improved bowling and fielding controls, a dedicated career mode, arcade-style gameplay with quicker matches, and Men’s and Women’s Big Bash League editions. The following is a list of all the keyboard and mouse controls you’ll need to master the game.

I’ve loved games ever since I was a child. I like playing them and sharing my feelings with other like-minded individuals. I started off writing as a hobby, and a few years later, my love for games is still as lively as ever and I intend to spread it throughout the gaming community.
