One way to make it more exciting is to set different pitch and crack types for each ground. This way, the home team will have an advantage, and it will encourage all players to incorporate different bowling options. For example, some pitches can be flat - Dry and no crack (Pakistan), some can be green with crack (England), some can be dry and bouncy (WI/AUS), some can be dry and full of crack (IND/SL), some can be green with No crack(SA/NZ) stadiums.
It would also be beneficial to have the option to utilize 12th men from the playing squad.
