[Stumped]

Harsha Bhogle, the Indian cricket commentator and cricket expert has talked about EA’s officially licensed dropped cricket title ICC Cricket 09. Harsha Bhogle has revealed on twitter about his involvement in the game as commentator and has also said about his disappointment on EA not releasing the game last year. Here is what he has said on twitter:

“One of my biggest regrets that ea didn’t release cricket 09.spent 3 days doing commentary on it.was proud an Indian had been asked.” – Said Harsha

EA Sports ICC Cricket 09 was officially licensed by ICC and was featuring the official ICC T20 World Cup 2009. The game was to be released in May 2009 for PC according to the sources but later on it was dropped by EA Sports. The game was developed by HB Studios. Since ICC Cricket 09 was dropped, cricket gamers can expect a game in 2011.

Don't you think this as some sort of creating an expectation among us to increase their sales.. IF it had not been so, Harsha would have disclosed something about it earlier..why now?? There's something behind it.. Maybe this is the ad for the release of a new cricket game by EA

If I am right then I think they have to sign a NDA which restricts them to discuss anything about the game. My friend was the lead developer of ICC Cricket 09 and that's why I was able to provide some exclusives and exact status of the game.

I can't say about the next game from EA but I feel that they might have something for the World Cup despite of the fact that Codemasters have already got the license.

I was talking to Jamie Firth, the producer of AC09 3-4 days back and according to him, licensing issues seems to be the cause of dropping of Cricket 09.
