The game featured the complete 2013 Ashes cricket event series. It also planned for an improved fielding editor with up to 60 fielding options. There was also a plan for a new-look batting system which allows for a larger variety of shots. Weather and pitch conditions would also affect bowling styles. In addition to commentaries by Mark Nicholas, David Lloyd and Michael Slater.
Development
Trickstar Games was developing a new gaming system built upon the Beta version of Unity Engine to provide better gameplay in batting, bowling and fielding. The game was originally to be released on 21 June 2013, however the release date was moved back to July 2013. With a release date still not specified, there were concerns that the game would not even make the revised July release. 505 Games then confirmed the game was being further delayed for a November 2013 release due to quality concerns, stating it is «simply not worthy of the Ashes name», despite the fact that the new release date missed the opening of the real-life Ashes series in Australia.
In that time, Mike Fegan of Trickstar Games had promised regular updates. He started a weekly video diary on the official Ashes Cricket 2013 Facebook page, but the flow of updates dried up over time and information about the game ceased.
The game was eventually released on Steam on 22 November 2013 without fanfare. However, the game was clearly unfit for release, as it contained major bugs and issues including poorly implemented and documented controls, badly outdated graphics, poor character animations, and other non-functioning features.

Reception
The game was universally panned by critics, cricket fans and the media, and there were several videos on YouTube featuring these bugs. The Ashes Cricket 2013 Facebook page has since been deleted, and the Twitter feed has all but been abandoned.
Four days later after its release, it was removed from sale. It was finally announced on 28 November that all production of the game had been cancelled, along with plans to release console versions of the game, and that all people who purchased the game would receive a full refund. The publisher 505 Games apologized to the game's users and turned its attention to «protecting the Ashes name and that of the ECB and Cricket Australia».
It is quite widely featured as one of the worst games of 2013. Ashes Cricket 2013 game free Download for PC Full Version.
