Gameplay

An enriched career mode sees players begin their cricket careers at the local level, playing for teams in their chosen region before earning selection for domestic and international duty. Teams are also dynamic throughout player's career saves rather than locked to a single line-up for the duration; other players will shift about as they retire, suffer injuries, slump in form, or get selected for higher levels of cricket. A new “Be a Pro” option brought with it the ability to play through career mode as an existing player, and also have the option to play through career mode controlling the whole team. In addition to the expanded character creation system, a “full and comprehensive" stadium creator mode that will allow players to recreate their own local cricket ground in-game.[3]

Cricket 17 has new batting shots like helicopter shots, charge sixes etc. It also adds new visual and new special effects. As the game does not feature official licenses, it does not contain real player likenesses. [4][1]
