This will aim at helping you pick your primary team whilst playing the game, as well as being aware of your opponent's best players. So, without any further delay, here are the players you will want to make the most of in Cricket 22.
5 🔴 ꧂Ben Stokes
England's world cup hero and the new England Test captain is the first player on this list. Ben Stokes is an all-rounder and someone that you will be able to make maximum use of in Cricket 22. His in-game stats are justified by years of great performances for England on the biggest scale. Most notably, his display in the 2019 cricket world cup final a few years after bowling a disastrous final over the t20 international final. His overall ranking is an 86 and his stats show he is a jack of all trades. He has good technical batting ability with 70 alongside great control over his bowling on 69. This will enable Stokes to get wickets, score runs and be excellent on the field.
4 Joe Root
Although England has struggled in all formats since the height of the 2019 world cup victory and none more so than the test team (under Root's leadership), Root remains the sole shining light on the pitch during this time. At the time of writing, he is ranked the 4th best test batsman in the world 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:despite England producing awful displays throug﷽🌄hout 2020, 2021 and now into 2022.
On the game itself, Root ꧑has an 88 overall and ranks as one of the best batsmen in the game. Those of you who enjoy a more defensive and technical ba🦋tting style will want to make full use of Joe Root and his in-game abilities with these attributes coming in at a high 78 and 81 respectively.
3 🌊 🐎 Meg Lanning
Currently, the Australian women's captain over the last decade Meg Lanning has been arguably the best female player in the world, and this is represented by her recent rankings and achievements. She has very recently captained Australia to a world cup victory in which she performed exceptionally well. This is alongside her ranking of 5th among the best ODI batters in the world which has been bettered by her in the past. In Cricket 22, she boasts of an 87 overall rating. This is mainly due to her excellent attacking style of batting. The technical and attacking attributes are at 83 and 80, meaning that she is a player that you should use to get after bowlers and put some runs on the board. More often than not, she will accomplish this.
2 🅷 Pat Cummins
Pat Cummi𝄹ns was recently thrust into the limelight after a scandal in December 2021 led to him becoming Australian Test captain after the prior captain, Tim Paine resigned his post. This led to Cummins taking on one of the most sought after roles in cricket just weeks before the Ashes began, but more importantly, it led to him becoming the cover star for the g💛ame. This is for good reason as well as Cummins is far and away the best Test bowler in the world and his performance in that Ashes series only strengthened his reputation.
It is easy to be fooled by Cummins's relatively low rating of 82 in-game. He suffers from very poor scores in the batting attributes, and it drags down his overall rating. When it comes down to doing what he does best; bowling, he thrives with a control attribute of 79. This will enable you to bowl exactly where you want when controlling Cummins in the game.
1 Steve𝓀 Smith
Steve Smith has been the best batsman in the world since he flew onto the scene back in 2014/15. Since then, he has never dropped below the 3rd best test batsman in the world and has more often than not held the top spot. During this time he was banned for his role in the cheating scandal that rocked Australian cricket to its core. He came back from this and immediately picked up where he had left off and has been so good since that he now ranks as the 2nd best test batsman ever, only behind the legendary Don Bradman. In Cricket 22, Smith i𒅌s the best batsman in the game with a 90 overall ranking. These include an extremely high technical and defensive score of 82. You will also want to make use of his strong physical attributes which will make him very quick between the wickets.
