As far as I know, Cricket Captain is not distributed on CDs or any other physical media. If you bought a CD, I suspect it is not a legal copy of the game. You can get a proper license here: https://childishthings.com/shop/cricket-captain-2021.html
Then the editor will work correctly.
The attributes can be changed in both the ordinary editor and the "unlocked" editor. The only difference in the "unlocked" editor is that you can view the values.
The fixture editor has not been removed, it just hasn't been updated since 2016. (I didn't write the fixture editor, Isura did).
I...
Can clarify exactly what you want to do? (And for which career/tournament mode, and which difficulty level?)
There is virtually no difference with the "unlocked" editor except that it lets you view a couple of hidden attributes. So it might not be as useful as you think it is. It mostly affects...
There is also the Club Editor section (which allows you to edit club budgets and coaching/physio sessions). And the Squad Editor tool allows you to change which players are in each squad. And the Selection Editor tool allows you to change your opponent's team selection.
What you are describing...
I think you mentioned above that the historic teams can only take part in 1 vs. 1 "tournaments". It could be more interesting to have a proper league, or knockout tournament, with a much larger number of classic teams all competing.
I don't think it would be difficult to edit historical squads...
I figured out a nice (fast) way of doing this, but the problem would be when new Cricket Captain patches are released, the player database changes and then the old text files wouldn't work any more. It would be possible to automatically update the text files after each Cricket Captain update...
I could probably make a simple software tool that allows you to save your squad to a text file, then load it again in a new game. (Then you could share your text files here and anyone else could load them and play them directly).
I never thought about doing this before because in Career mode...
@Mouseydread The Cricket Captain 2021 Scout may be useful for finding players. For example, you can easily find the 18 current and 82 retired Canadian players in the database by configuring the filters (Options -> Filters):

Update to fix bug in player loading after 1st season:

Many thanks again to @Prashanth S Kharche for helping with this. Please let me know if you find any more problems.
Update to fix bug in Scout player loading after 1st season (also affecting Squad Editor and Selection Editor):

Many thanks again to @Prashanth S Kharche for helping with this. Please let me know if you find any more problems.
Is this only happening in an older savegame? If so, then would it be possible to send that savegame file to me (either in a private message, or attached on the forum)?
You should be able to find your savegame file in this folder:
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Childish Things\Cricket...
Something is going wrong with the Scout. It says it only loaded 21 players (but it should be more than 7500).
If you close the editor and just run the Scout, does it load the players correctly?
After hotfix 6 and now even after patch 21.01, I have rebooted my PC twice and the old Editor and Scout are still both working for me.
Please check one more time. If it still isn't working, please send me a savegame file and I'll see if I can figure out the problem.
