It contains the 2003 Cricket World Cup in Africa and the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy.

These two competitions are licensed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and contain official player names, faces, kits, badges and sponsors.

All other modes are unofficial as the rights for these belong to EA Sports and therefore some players and kits are made up; for example Graham Thorpe becomes "G Thrip" and Shane Warne becomes "S Worde".

[3] The game is also first to include licensed bats such as the Kookaburra Diablo and the GM Purist.

The player can either recreate or rewrite history, depending on the team they choose to play as.
