So far, the Don Bradman Cricket games have been made available on the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. Don Bradman Cricket 14 was for last generation consoles and PC while a second release, simply titled Don Bradman Cricket hit store shelves this year for the PS4 and Xbox One.

Considering how complete these entries have been, it's hard to think what else Big Ant Studios can add to the formula. In the interim the company released Tabletop Cricket on Steam, a fast-paced, whimsical take on the genre.
