Ace Player

When you create a team you will be asked to select an ACE PLAYER for your team. Your selected ace player will score double points for you (remember that's double losing points also). So unlike in actual cricket you are selecting your ACE player on gut feeling that they will score big points for you rather than real leadership skills.

Your team earns points as per how the players chosen by you perform in the real-life matches. So strategize wisely and brush up on your cricket knowledge to be in a better position to win!
