How to Recover Your Real Cricket Account Safely

Updated 9 October 2026 · Independent fan guide

Find out how your progress was saved

Before anything else, think back. How did you log in on your old phone?

• With a Google account?
• With a game account or email?
• With nothing at all?

If you never linked an account, your progress may only live on the old phone. In that case, don't wipe or sell that phone yet.

Steps to try on the new phone

Follow these steps:

1. Sign in to the same Google account in the Play Store.
2. Install Real Cricket from Google Play.
3. Open the game and look for a sign-in or link option in the settings.
4. Use the same method you used before.
5. Wait a few minutes for the data to sync.

Don't create a new account at once. A new one can make it harder to find the old one.

If your progress doesn't show up

Check these things:

• Is the game fully updated?
• Are you on the right Google account?
• Is the internet working well?
• Did you log in on a different game version or region?

Sometimes sync takes time. Close the game and open it again after a few minutes.

Scams to avoid

Players who lose progress are a target. Be careful of:

• Anyone who asks for your password.
• Sites that ask you to pay a fee to "restore" an account.
• Gift card payments.
• "Recovery tools" you must download.

No real support person needs your password. If someone asks, stop talking to them.

Protect your account for the future

Do these simple things now.

• Link your account early.
• Use a strong, unique password.
• Turn on two-step verification on your Google account.
• Do not share your login.
• Avoid installing unknown files on the same phone.

A few minutes of setup can save you months of progress.

What support will want to know

If you contact support, keep these details ready. It speeds up the answer.

• Your phone model and Android version.
• The game version.
• Roughly when you last played.
• Your player name, if you remember it.
• A short description of what happened.

Be polite and clear. A calm message usually gets a better reply than an angry one.

Ask the developer

For a real fix, use the support option inside the game, or the contact details on its Google Play page. Give clear details: your phone model, the date you last played, and your player name if you remember it.

To prevent this next time, link your account early. Also read the login problem guide for quick checks. Keep your main account away from modded files. See our homepage guide for why.
