Cricket Imperialism is here: conquer the cricket world

One map. Every match matters. Turn your international matches into a fight for world domination with Cricket Imperialism, now available on CC Scout.

Can your favourite nation take over the cricket world? Cricket Imperialism brings the map-conquest challenge to Cricket Captain 2026. Each team starts with its own home territory. Win a match and claim the losing side's entire empire. Lose once and your team is knocked out. Keep going until one champion owns the whole campaign map.

Imperialism is a browser companion on CC Scout. You play the matches in Cricket Captain 2026, then enter the winner on the website. CC Scout handles the draw, territory ownership and campaign history; it does not read match results automatically or change your CC26 save.

Choose your contenders

Start with all 22 available international teams, select the 12 Test nations in one click, or pick your own field of at least two sides. Give the campaign a name and decide how big you want the challenge to be: a short rivalry, a Test-nation showdown or a full international conquest.

Roll, play, conquer

  1. Roll the attacker. A surviving team is selected and the map zooms towards its attacking territory.
  2. Spin the direction. The compass finds an opponent. Both locations are highlighted and the map adjusts to show the matchup.
  3. Play the match in CC26. Take the two teams into Cricket Captain 2026 and settle the contest on the pitch.
  4. Record the winner. Select the winning side on CC Scout and watch the map change colour as it takes every territory belonging to the loser.

The defender can win the attacking team's whole empire too. A side with only one territory can suddenly become the biggest power on the board. A draw or no result keeps the matchup in place so you can replay it before recording a winner.

Follow the rise of an empire

Empire rankings track territories and wins as the campaign unfolds, while Battle history records each conquest. When the last team wins, open Review campaign for the full story: team records, peak empire sizes, eliminations and every battle on the road to the title.
