At a press conference held in Galle, in Sri Lanka, where the 1st Test match between Sri Lanka and Australia is being held, Mr. Ponting said, "Cricket is a fascinating game that can now be played not just on the ground but on one's mobile. MAUJ has developed a game that actually captures the nuances of the game Cricket. I am only too happy to be associated with such leading edge entertainment."

Mr. Arun Gupta, Head MAUJ, added, "Our experience over the last few months has indicated that wireless games based on real sports have a huge demand. After successfully releasing games based on tennis, skiing and bowling, cricket was the next frontier. It was especially challenging due to the detailed nature of the sport itself. However, with a lot of hard work and Mr. Ponting's participation, we have created a truly enjoyable game which we hope will, besides providing entertainment, promote the sport as well."

Ricky Ponting is the captain of the Australian Cricket team, which holds the world championship trophy and is currently touring Sri Lanka.
