The third instalment of the Chennai-built cricket franchise. Career mode, NPL 2025, WNPL women's league, 1-on-1 multiplayer, and the realistic batting and bowling animations that made WCC2 a 100 million download hit.
What is World Cricket Championship 3
World Cricket Championship 3 (WCC3) is the third entry in the Nextwave Multimedia cricket franchise, built in Chennai for an audience that lives and breathes the sport. The series crossed 100 million downloads on WCC2 before this sequel launched. WCC3 keeps the same focus: realistic batting and bowling animations, professional commentary from Matthew Hayden, Isa Guha, and Aakash Chopra, and tournament structures that mirror the actual cricket calendar.
The game ships with seven major modes. Career mode lets you sign a debut contract, climb domestic and international ladders, and shape a 15-year cricket arc. NPL 2025 adds an auction room and two new stadiums for a T20 franchise tournament. WNPL covers the women's competition with five teams. Test Cricket, World Cup, Ashes, and 1-on-1 real-time multiplayer round out the menu.
The base game is free with optional in-app purchases for cosmetics, players, and the Road to Glory premium content. The modded build on this page focuses on the in-game economy: unlimited coins to skip the grind and play with the full roster from day one.
Match views from WCC3 - stadium presentation, batting camera, and bowling action.

Frequently asked questions
- Is World Cricket Championship 3 free to download?
- Yes. The official WCC3 from Nextwave Multimedia is free on Google Play. It carries optional in-app purchases for cosmetics, players, and the Road to Glory premium content, and shows ads on menu screens. The modded build on this page removes the coin grind and unlocks the gated content.
- Will my progress carry over between the Play Store version and the mod?
- Basic profile data, match history, and stats sync via the cloud save. The mod may not pass Nextwave's server-side cosmetic ownership checks, so premium player skins and auction-room purchases may not transfer.
- What Android version do I need?
- WCC3 requires Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) or above. The game runs on both arm64-v8a (64-bit) and armeabi-v7a (32-bit) devices, though larger stadiums and high-fidelity character models benefit from a 64-bit chipset with at least 3 GB of RAM.
- How big is the download?
- The WCC3 3.2.5 APK is approximately 800 MB. Post-install asset extraction adds another 200 to 800 MB depending on language packs. Budget around 1.2 GB total on-device.
- Why is WCC3 popular in India in particular?
- Nextwave Multimedia is a Chennai studio. Hindi and Tamil commentary, IPL-style tournament structures, and player likenesses that include domestic stars rather than only the international circuit drove WCC2 past 100 million installs and carry the same calibration into WCC3.
