Delisting
Ashes Cricket 2009 was delisted from Steam between August 4th and August 25th, 2012, based on Wayback Machine captures of the game’s Steam store page. The game was likely delisted on Xbox 360 around this time. With three years of availability, the game was delisted due to expired licensing from the cricket organizations involved with the game (England Cricket, Cricket Australia, Marylebone Cricket Club).
Ashes Cricket 2009 remains available on physical media in European and Australian territories.
