On 12 December 2022, Wicket Gaming's free-to-play cricket manager game, Cricket Manager Pro, will be launched in the UK. The launch takes place according to the previously set launch plan and against the background of a positive reception in India, South Africa, Australia and Sri Lanka.

The UK market is of strategic central importance to Wicket Gaming. It is estimated that as many as 65% of the UK population follow the sport.* In addition, the United Kingdom is a country with strong growth in mobile gaming. In 2021, the British population consumed mobile gaming for $ 2 billion, an increase of 8.1 percent over the previous year.**

In a comment, Wicket Gaming's CEO Eric de Basso says:

"The UK will be a European hub for Cricket Manager Pro and it is with great excitement that we look forward to launching the game in this market. The British are known for their devoted interest in sports in general and in cricket and football in particular. We believe that Cricket Manager Pro has a great opportunity to compete with the biggest manager games in football - a genre that the British have come to love."
