With CricEx, a virtual trading game, one can buy andsell shares of their favourite players. A complete portfolioof cricketers can be created and if the selected playersperform well, one can get hold of the leader board.

Launched on ibibo.com, users can either buy or sellthe players they want. And there is also no restriction of 11players and one can buy as many players as one wants.

However, the total value of the shares for each of theplayers cannot exceed the cash the users has.

"The CricEx application enables cricket fans toexpress themselves and engage with the sport by empoweringthem to virtually trade their favourite cricketers. Soon userswill be able to trade their players straight from their mobilephones too," says Rahul Razdan, president (products andoperations) of Ibibo Web Pvt Ltd.

One can buy or sell players stocks anytime but therates of the players would change only when a match is live.

One gets an initial virtual money of Rs 10 lakh for buyingstocks of players.
