Cricket Captain 2022 Beginner’s Guide: Tips and Tricks
Here is our bonus section that would help newbies understand all the aggression, progression and defense system during the game and explore some of the captain tricks that would help them achieve glory. The following are some useful Harbor Master and Management tips from our gaming experience.
1. Adjust the progress bar according to the game situation
As discussed earlier, toning up the progress bar would put your hitters in one Offensive mode. Now, when to raise or lower your pitch should depend on your hitter’s format, playing situation, and playing style.
- If you are playing T20 or the Hundred you have to raise the progress bar at least 3 levels.
- However, if you are playing the 5 day game or a ODI game, let the progress bar remain as it is. You can also set the progress bar to zero in 5-day matches. This would greatly reduce your chances of going out.

- If you are beaten by the bowler, check if the conditions have turned cloudy. If so, you need to lower your aggression to save your wicket. Suppose now the Your hitter’s default play style is Defensive. Lowering the progress bar by 1 unit would be sufficient. However, if your hitter’s style of play is offensive / offensive, you need to tone down the progress bar by 3 unit.
- If a hitter is Settled (as indicated by the Settled Bar), and you observe him playing and failing two or three times too many, and the conditions are the same and the bowler hats are the same, it can be assumed that the hitter has become tired or lost. concentration. Therefore, depending on how many bars he is in, reduce the aggression bar by one or two to avoid losing your batter’s wicket in form.
2. Always keep aggression chained
Presumably, the Link aggression the system sets your hitter into an ultra-attacking mode. However, it doesn’t matter in the context of this game. Even if you keep it unplugged, your hitter will continue playing according to the inputs of the progress bar. Then, keep the Aggression chain connected as it is by default.
3. Replace your bowler hat when its resistance levels turn red

Just as we stated in the previous section, Red resistance indicates that your bowler hat is extremely fatigued. You will not face this situation in a T20 match, but this scenario will always occur in ODI and 5 day matches. Make sure you replace your bowler hat immediately when the The resistance bar starts turn Red as this would increase his chances of getting injured.
4. Get your bowler back in shape every time you go for a run
It is always important to rotate the bowler hats to make it difficult to choose a hitter. In addition to that, you should always keep an eye on the shape guide of your bowlers. If the opposing hitter goes crazy against a certain bowler for an over or two, then there is no point in bringing that pitcher back for another over, especially when the batters have settled against him. In this situation, be sure to get back to your bowler in shape to give the momentum a break.
5. Use the custom field setup
A custom field setup allows you to manually move defenders to desired locations. Hence, it should always be the reference option. The game has designed a few presets in the field for the powerplay and non-powerplay phases. You can always resort to those for help, but make sure you place the outer ring players in the positions you want.
- For example, in the YOU HATE the non-powerplay phase, which covers the entire offside including the deep third, deep mid-wicket and deep end leg is not a very smart choice. Runs can be freely marked behind the square and behind the dot with this configuration. Instead, you can place the inner ring players on the side of the leg, one at the ravine, one in the middle, one long and one behind the covers. This would expose the offside to ensure that the boundary line outside is well protected from defenders.

- For T20I Whatever plane of field you go out on, make sure you don’t keep your bowler’s progress bar more than three levels high. If the opposition hitters are going too fast with you, tone it down by 2 levels or even down to zero. This would somewhat avoid the indignation.
- For 5-day matches, choose Attack Options on Starting Days. The game allows you to keep 4 defenders out of the ring in this format. But, on these 4, make sure at least two players are stationed on the briefs. If the batter is Settled and scoring at a fast pace, only then should you resort to defensive options.
6. Choose your team wisely
Before any Tournament / Series / Career Mode Game, it is important that you choose your team based on the Guide to your players’ modules and statistics.

- A fit player is an automatic addition to your team in any format.
- Suppose the format is T20, so a hitter with an average of 30-40 it’s decent enough to get to your XI. You also need to see if her Strike Rate is good. However, the same is not true of One Day Internationals.
- Likewise, a bowler must have a bowling average of 20 or not to fit the team, especially in the T20I.
It is important to select your squad based on your players’ individual stats.
7. Play according to the Conditions
In Cricket Captain 2022, it is equally important to read the conditions while playing:
- Say, for example, that you will not get Perfect all-rounder in this game. You will get a good bowler who can beat or a hitter who can also go bowling. The only solution to this problem is to play a team based on conditions. If conditions are such that you need a bowler hat or an extra fast spinner, choose a All-round bowling and viceversa.
- Don’t bring a medium pacer unless it’s cloudy. Middle Pacers do a lot of runs in Cricket Captain 2022. However, they get a varying amount of swing when it’s cloudy. Hence, one must refrain from using one unless the conditions are cloudy.

8. Review judiciously before renewing Expired Contracts in Career Mode
Before renewing expired contracts, you need to look for 3 things:
- The player is suitable for your team or not, based on their stats. (A bowler with an average of 19.46 gets more preferences than a bowler with an average of 22.38).
- Both the Affected player has injury problems or not.
- If it has declared himself unavailable due to national duty S.
For instance, Jofra Archer is out with an injury. So giving him a contract won’t be a smart choice if he’s not on your team. The same fundamentals should be taken into consideration throughout Recruitment.
9. Train your players by feeding training sessions
While some may think it’s better to find a better replacement than coach a player, Cricket Captain 2022 lets you do some really cool stuff. You can now convert a higher order hitter to a medium order hitter and vice versa.

When you are about to coach a player, there are two things you need to remember:
- When you train your players, be sure to give Practical sessions (beating / bowling) instead of training individual traits. It is by training that you can get your players back in shape and the best way to do this is by giving training sessions.
- Train only the players who make it to your squad by reviewing their stats. There is absolutely no need to train unwanted players.
Final thoughts
Here’s a bonus tip for everyone. While batting in the opening session of a 5-day game, always lower the progress bar to zero. This is because you are rewarded with game points based on your First Innings score. The score of the second inning does not matter in this context, as you are rewarded based on the results of the match and the score of an inning. Since lowering the progress bar reduces the chances of getting out, it can eventually make you stay between as many runs as possible.
Overall, the game has a really crazy engine which makes it a realistic and interesting way to enjoy our favorite sport. However, the DRS system was not incorporated into any of the Cricket Captain versions. If they add it in version 2023 along with some amendments, then this game could potentially breathe fire into the world of Mobile Cricket.
