Street Cricket Champions is a backyard cricket game series released exclusively in India for PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation 3 (with PlayStation Move functionality). It was the first series of cricket games to be developed in India, by Mumbai-based studio Trine Games, as well as the first video games based on gully cricket.[1] [2][3][4]

The first sequel, Street Cricket Champions 2, was released on September 29, 2012 for PS2 and PSP.[5] According to then-CEO of Trine Games, Sangam Gupta, this sequel was primarily a re-skin of the first game, with some bug fixes.[6]

As the games are meant to depict amateur groups playing the game in the streets, no licensed player likenesses are featured.[7]

A PS3 console bundle was released featuring Move Street Cricket II.[8]
