On those guys you mentioned? All individual probably. Not covered by any umbrella license - you'd have to approach them direct, individually, and see what they would want to be licensed in game. And, potentially, there are then complications around how they could be used (you could get their likeness that way, but potentially not any kit/uniform or anything that could be claimed by another 3rd party.
In short - you pay people individually for the right to use them. So only like about 1000 separate agreements for face and names alone.
In short it's not easy.
Ok i feel these elite cricketers wont be that expensive as only few are into commentry and rest doing nothing or into bussiness.
As cricketers emotions they will love to be a part of cricket field when they know cant play in real life.
Uniform they can have fresh designed by big ants.
Big ant can tie up with 8 marketing companies from 8 test playing nation and try to get the licenses of these ex cricketers.
As off now except australia and England i dont think big ant will be able to get any lincenses in next few years .Bcci license not possible in next 10 years at least.
So if they want to create a fut or ultimate team kind of stuff best bet with is with the retired guys.
For example a 1996 world cup
We just need around 40 players each country
320 players to have a ultimate team kind of stuff.
As cricket online users are less compared to fifa so 300 players will be good enough to start with.
Just imagine buying Gilchrict using Xp points.
They just need to tie up with Mukesh Ambani things will be easily done.
One arrow all targets hit.
Mumbai indians team owner.
As any cricketers around the world visit his office in just one call he has that kind of impact.
