ICC Launches EOI to Create a Landmark Mobile Cricket Game
The International Cricket Council (ICC), in collaboration with its 12 Full Member Boards, has today launched an Expression of Interest (EOI) process to identify potential partners to develop and publish a new, world class mobile cricket game that reflects the global appeal and rich heritage of cricket.
This initiative marks a significant and strategic milestone for the sport. In a much-anticipated step forward for cricket fans, the ICC and its Members are aligning to present a unified opportunity to the global market—offering a clear pathway for a visionary partner to help shape the future of cricket fandom through a cricket game.
The EOI process invites leading game developers, publishers, and gaming ventures to express their interest in building a transformative cricket game. Shortlisted parties will be invited to a formal tender process at the conclusion of the EOI.
Speaking on the announcement, ICC Chairman, Mr. Jay Shah said:
'Cricket has one of the most passionate and diverse fanbases in global sport.
'This project represents a unique opportunity and step forward to reimagine how cricket is experienced and celebrated in the digital world.
'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.'
The ICC welcomes expressions of interest from qualified and visionary organizations with the capability, creativity, and ambition to deliver a world-class mobile game.
Queries and EOI documentation requests should be emailed to Gaming.EOI@icc-cricket.com by 24 June 2025. Final EOI submissions are due 27 June 2025.
