What carries over from the beta
Progress is saved from the Beta phase onwards, closed-beta players get automatic Beta access, and all closed-beta pass holders receive three rewards that unlock during the eCricket India launch.
Progress in eCricket is saved from the Beta phase onwards, and closed-beta players get automatic access to that Beta phase — so a closed-beta account is not a throwaway. On top of that, every closed-beta pass holder gets three rewards that unlock during the eCricket India launch.
What carries over, phase by phase
| Phase | Do you keep progress? | Do you keep access? |
|---|---|---|
| Closed Beta (27 Oct – 21 Nov 2026) | Your eight-day window is a test build; treat it as a feel test | Pass colour decides your batch |
| eCricket Beta (Phase 2) | Yes — "progress saved from here on" | Automatic for closed-beta players |
| eCricket India Launch (Phase 3) | Yes, on the same account | Open to everyone in India |
The distinction matters because it is the only reason to care about your batch number beyond curiosity. Batch 3 players get the shortest run before the phase flips, but every closed-beta player lands in Phase 2 automatically, with the account progress that was recorded from the Beta phase onward.
The three pass-holder rewards
The official site is specific about the number and the timing, and deliberately vague about the items: "All closed beta pass holders get these 3 rewards unlocked during eCricket India launch." The three are presented as card art on the official site (a club-flavoured card, a marquee card and a thousand-unit card). What that means practically:
- They are launch rewards, not beta rewards. Nothing lands in your account during the closed beta; all three unlock when India launch opens.
- They are tied to the pass, not to performance. There is no "reach this rank" condition published — the pass is the condition.
- They are cosmetic-and-currency flavoured, judging by the card art, not gameplay advantages. The studio has not published a breakdown, so this site does not pretend to have one.
What to do with an eight-day window
If your goal is to arrive at the Beta phase with something better than a first impression:
- Spend the first session on feel, not on winning. Batting timing, bowling release and fielding weight are what the developer is testing; those are also what patch notes change first.
- Play the multiplayer mode while the servers are busiest. Batches exist to test scale, and the busiest window is the most informative one for netcode.
- Write down what changed between sessions. The gap between batches is a fix window, so the same shot or delivery may behave differently a fortnight later.
See the closed beta calendar for the three batch windows, or the roadmap for what Phase 2 opens.
