A manager can improve his team through various training methods, by morale-boosting activities (every player has his own specific character and preferences) and by enticing new star players from the transfer market.

Team batting and bowling strategies can be set for each game. Choices depend on your team's abilities, opponents' strategies, the state of the weather, wicket and the umpire (some give LBWs and call wides – others don't!). Managers are also in full control of their batting order, bowling attack, fielding positions, coin toss, captaincy and much more...
