Cricket 22 gameplay
As mentioned, Cricket 22 is the official video game of the 2021–22 Ashes series, so look for the big matches there to be recreated in visual form.
As for how it will play, expect it to run much like the games in the past did, but with some tweaks to improve certain areas. One of those tweaks is a new arcade bowling system so now you will be able to move the ending marker so the ball lands where you want it prior to selecting your delivery method.
Bowling animations have been changed up too so that there is more variety when you throw the ball, while slow-mo has been added to fielding.
