eCricket’s closed beta is now rolling out in India for people who already hold a Closed Beta Pass. LightFury Games says the current test is limited to Android and uses three eight-day batches, with the second window running from November 5 to November 12 and the third scheduled for November 14 to November 21. This is a test build, not the public launch: it is useful for eligible players, but it is not a reason to download a file offered by an unrelated website.
Who can access the eCricket closed beta?
The developer’s official Game Access page says access is for Closed Beta Pass holders only, and that passes are no longer available. The company’s current instructions are specific: use the Play Store account connected to the early-access registration, find the “Game Access” email, and open the download link from that email.
That makes a practical difference for searchers looking for an “eCricket APK.” There is no general public-download date on the official page. If a site says it can sell a pass, provide early access for a fee, or bypass the batch process, it is not following the access route published by the developer.
November batch dates and device requirements
- Batch 1: October 27 to November 3, 2026.
- Batch 2: November 5 to November 12, 2026.
- Batch 3: November 14 to November 21, 2026.
LightFury recommends an Android phone with 6GB or more of RAM for the closed beta. It says iOS is not supported during this phase. The build includes single-player and multiplayer modes, daily and weekly missions, manual running, a broadcast batting camera and an in-game store; more features are listed for the later India launch.
What happens after the test?
The official roadmap separates the closed beta, a broader eCricket Beta and the eventual India launch. Dates for the broader beta and public India launch have not been announced. The developer also says closed-beta progress is deleted after each player’s eight-day window, while closed-beta players move on to the later beta with progress saved from there.
LightFury’s recent studio update confirms that players have begun testing the game. Treat gameplay clips and community posts as previews, not as a substitute for the developer’s own access page or release notes.
Safe ways to follow the launch
- Use ecricketgame.com and the registered-email link for any beta access.
- Join the official waitlist if you missed the closed-beta registration; do not buy access from a chat account.
- Check the publisher, email domain and Play Store account before installing.
- Do not share an OTP, Play Store login, UPI PIN or remote-screen access to get a game build.
