Cricket 24 is shaping up to be the most expansive and ambitious cricket games to ever release. In an official announcement, Big Ant Studios revealed that the game's release date is now set for 5th October 2023. One significant challenge faced by the franchise has been the lack of official licenses. The developers have dedicated substantial efforts to secure more licenses and create additional content in Cricket 24.
Here's a quick overview of the licensed teams in Cricket 24, allowing readers to assess the developers' efforts and decide whether the game is worth purchasing.

West Indies
Big Ant Studios has hinted at more announcements to come before the game's launch, raising hopes that India and South Africa might also be included.
Moreover, the game will encompass professional Indian T20 teams, although the complete list remains under wraps. However, we can reveal the Indian Premier League (IPL) teams that will be present in the game:
Lucknow Super Giants

In addition to these teams, the anticipated announcement of Sunrisers Hyderabad, who had partnered with Big Ant Studios earlier is highly expected.
