1.13.0 Jun 11
Minor bug fixes
1.12.2 Jun 3
- Sort your squad before match day. Pick your XI ahead of time instead of scrambling at the toss, with a suggested last XI to start from and your recent matches a tap away.
- Tournament points tables that tell the truth. Tapping a team spells out exactly what it needs to qualify.
- Run your groups your way. Add, move or remove teams as the draw changes, with sensible guards once matches are played.
- Match alerts that read like a person wrote them. "Won by 55 runs", the team badge right alongside, and no more double pings.
- Steadier under the hood.
1.12.0 Jun 3
- Tournament qualification scenarios got smarter. The "what if" math for NRR now runs on the server, so the picture of who needs what to qualify stays accurate even when the standings are
tight.
- Streaming holds up better when things go wrong. The camera recovers from glitches mid-broadcast, and restarting a stream leaves nothing hanging around from the last run.
- Some minor bug fixes and improvements
1.11.0 May 23
Verified tournaments. The Skipper team is starting to verify the tournaments we trust. Look for the blue tick next to the name on the Tournaments tab and inside each match's Info card. More
tournaments will pick up the tick over the coming weeks.
Skipper Cricket streaming is invite-only. Last week a couple of streams broke YouTube's rules and put the whole channel at risk. From now on, only approved users can stream on the official
Skipper Cricket channel. Your own YouTube channel is still wide open. If you want Skipper access, there's a Request button on the Stream Setup screen.
Shorter sign-up. We don't ask for your date of birth anymore. You can add it later if you want to play in age-category tournaments.
Come back any time. If you delete your account and change your mind, just sign in again with the same number. Your stuff comes back with you.
Polish
- Stream Setup opens cleaner, less flicker
- Follow button on tournament pages is easier to spot
- Fixed a card layout glitch on small phones
1.10.0 May 21
Pro Streaming is here. Drop our overlay URL into OBS, vMix or Prism and your live scorecard appears on stream, with ten themes to pick from. Going live is also easier to find on every live match, and a new explainer tells you exactly what you need to start streaming. A few visual polish touches around the live screen too.

1.6.0 Apr 30
New
- Run-out scoring collapsed into one screen with photo fielder cards. Faster taps, far fewer mis-picks.
- Smarter keeper handling: pick a keeper at toss, confirm on stumpings and caught-behinds, swap mid-match from the scoring menu, and see a clean † next to keeper dismissals on the scorecard.
- Toss screen redesigned as a versus card with a slide-up bat / bowl picker.
- Squad selection redesigned with a live Playing XI counter, search, and richer player rows.
- Search bar inside the Change Playing Squad sheet so a long roster takes one tap, not endless scrolling.
- Chase context (runs needed, balls remaining) now travels with you onto scoring pickers and the wicket and over sheets, so the scorer never has to back out to check.
Streaming
- A pile of fixes from a long field session. Theme colours stay on theme, the ticker now shows full names, the new-batter announcement is finally correct, and going live surfaces a real "please sign in
again" error instead of failing silently.
- Phone calls no longer kill the stream. Only genuine audio interruptions do.
- Frozen Android preview now recovers on its own when the network blips.
- Scorecard list opens with live matches first, then in timeline order.
Reliability
- The "logged out at random" bug is fixed.
- Innings break shows up properly in the live tab.
- Ground screen: bottom-nav overlap fixed, titles readable in light mode, and ground selection is mandatory so matches no longer ship without one.
- Tournament squads now sync correctly, and a missing squad shows a clear error instead of bouncing you back to home.
- Adding a player mid-match refreshes the match the first time, every time.
- Adding a player from contacts now creates them as a real Skipper user, so they show up everywhere.
Polish
- Close buttons on Select Openers, clearer button text and an "add later" hint on squad selection.
- Coin-flip animation steps aside once you pick the toss manually.
- NRR is now correct in two-innings games where overs ran out without all wickets falling.
- Tennis ball defaults to Regular, box cricket scoring options off by default.
