FAQ

Straight answers.

What we know, what we're planning and what isn't decided yet. The game is in development, so where something isn't final, we say so.

01

The game

6 questions

When is NPL Cricket League coming out?
The game is in development and doesn't have a release date yet. We'll open a closed beta on iOS and Android first, then launch on the App Store and Google Play. We'll only announce a date when we're sure of it. Pre-register to hear first.
Is it free?
Yes, the plan is a free game. You'll earn in-game currency by playing and spend it on cosmetics like kits, bats and celebrations. There will be no paid loot boxes at launch. If paid cosmetics come later, they will stay cosmetic: pay-to-win is never allowed.
Is this the official Nepal Premier League game?
No. NPL Cricket League is a game by Lacspace inspired by Nepal's T20 franchise cricket. It uses the franchise names, but it is not affiliated with, licensed by or endorsed by the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN), the Nepal Premier League or its franchises.
Are real players or teams in the game?
The eight teams carry the real franchise names. Their crests and kits in the game are our own designs, and every player is fictional. Official logos and real players would only appear with written permission from the people who own them.
Who is making it?
Lacspace, a software company with a games studio. The game is designed and built in Nepal.
Is there women's cricket?
Not in the first version. The launch plan covers the eight franchises and their squads. We'd like to add women's teams, and we'll put it on the public roadmap when it is actually scheduled, not before.

02

Playing

6 questions

Which phones will it run on?
iPhone (iOS) and Android. Minimum requirements aren't final yet. We're designing it to run smoothly on the mid-range Android phones most people in Nepal use, not only on flagships, and we'll publish requirements before the beta.
Can I play in Nepali?
Yes. Nepali and English are both complete: menus, commentary text and crowd chants. Nepali is a first-class language, not an afterthought, and you can switch at any time.
Can I play offline?
NPL Cricket League is an online-first game: ranked matches, friends rooms, league progress and events need an internet connection, because the server decides every ball. We plan an offline practice mode so you can work on your batting without data.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Create a friends room, share the code, and play your mates directly, with chat emotes. You can also queue for quick matches against other players.
What if nobody is online to play?
If matchmaking can't find an opponent in time, you'll face Lumi AI, our computer opponent, so you're never left waiting.
Will there be Nepali commentary?
Yes, Nepali and English commentary are part of the plan. How the commentary is voiced is still being decided, and we'll share it when it is.

03

Fair play, privacy and beta

4 questions

How do you keep it fair?
The game uses an authoritative server: it decides the outcome of every ball from the inputs it receives, so a modified app can't change scores. Ratings and progress are earned, never bought, and players can report cheating or abuse for our moderators to review.
What data do you collect?
This website itself stores no personal data and sets no cookies of its own. When pre-registration opens, the form sends your email, optional name, phone type, favourite team and language to our backend so we can invite you to the beta. The game will have its own privacy policy, published before launch.
How do I get beta access?
Pre-register on this site. When the closed beta opens through TestFlight (iPhone) and Google Play testing (Android), we'll email invitations to people on the list. Places in the first rounds may be limited.
How can I give feedback or ask something else?
