The motion-controlled sports sim will allow up to four players to compete in some of the sport's most prestigious tournaments, including the Ashes Series, test matches and 20-overs cricket.
Fully-licenced teams from England, Australia and six other test-playing nations will appear in the game. Matches will be played in some of cricket's most recognisable stadia, including the five hosting this summer's npower Ashes Series.
The game will employ the use of the system's motion controller, allowing players to drive, cut, bowl and field using the Wii Remote.
Top cricket analysts Jonathan Agnew, Shane Warne, Ian Botham, Ian Bishop and Tony Greig will provide in-game commentary.
Ashes Cricket 2009 is released for the Wii in August, with PS3, Xbox 360 and PC versions arriving during the npower Ashes.
