The first sequel, Street Cricket Champions 2, was released on September 29, 2012 for PS2 and PSP.^[5] According to then-CEO of Trine Games, Sangam Gupta, this sequel was primarily a re-skin of the first game, with some bug fixes.^[6]

A PS3 console bundle was released featuring Move Street Cricket II.^[8]
