Google kicks off ICC Champions Trophy with interactive Cricket Doodle

With the ICC Champions Trophy starting on Thursday, the cricketing world is 'glued' to their TVs and laptops to follow the tournament.

Google has taken this opportunity to market its own version of the famous sport, launching an interactive cricket version through Google Doodle.



"To celebrate the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, we’re inviting everyone to tap/click and take a swing at our pocket-size game," Google said in a blog post.



The game can be played on slower networks as well with Google announcing:"We know that cricket is loved worldwide, so we wanted to make sure our Doodle works for everyone, including those on slower mobile networks."

The tech giant also released some animations created during the development of the game. Here are a few selected ones: 

England take on Bangladesh in the first ICC game, with Australia and New Zealand also in their group.



Pakistan will play India on Sunday. Most of us can't wait for the game but for now, lets try our hand at Google's interactive version!
