The newest version of CrickSim allows the user to create and update squads and transfer players between squads. It also has a statistics feature which updates the batting, bowling and fielding statistics (e.g. averages, runs scored, wickets taken, best performances etc) for each player after every game. These statistics can be viewed as player career summaries appear on most cricket websites and television broadcasts. Detailed scorecards and ball-by-ball commentary from simulated games can also be saved to be viewed later.
