๐ก๏ธ Cricket Gear Sizing Made Simple
From helmets to pads โ find the right fit effortlessly with our easy-to-follow size charts crafted for every player.
Thigh Gaurd
A well-fitted thigh guard stays securely in place, shields critical muscle areas from impact, and allows you to run, dive, and bat freely without constant adjustments. Wearing the wrong size can lead to discomfort, limited mobility, and increased risk of injury.
Leg Gaurd
Wearing the correct size leg guards is essential for optimal protection and freedom of movement. A properly fitted leg guard covers the shin and knee without slipping, ensuring maximum impact absorption and confidence while batting. An ill-fitted pad can shift during play, hinder footwork, and expose you to unnecessary injuries.
Helmets
A well-fitted helmet is critical for safety, comfort, and performance on the field.
The right size helmet protects your head from serious impact while ensuring clear vision and a snug, secure feel. An incorrect fit can compromise protection, cause discomfort, and distract you during crucial moments of the game.
Chest And Arm Gaurd
Selecting the right size for chest and arm guards ensures maximum protection without restricting movement. A properly fitted guard shields vital areas like the ribs, chest, and forearms, absorbing high-impact blows while allowing natural flexibility. Ill-fitting guards can slip or feel bulky, reducing both comfort and confidence at the crease.
๐ Find Your Perfect Bat Size
Choosing the right bat size is crucial for balance, control, and power at the crease. Use this simple guide to match your height with the ideal bat size, ensuring a comfortable and effective game.

Master Your Bat Care Essentials
Discover the simple steps to oil, knock-in, and maintain your cricket bat โ ensuring peak performance, lasting durability, and match-ready confidence.
๐ก๏ธOiling Your Bat Matters
Regular oiling keeps the batโs wood fibers supple and prevents early cracking.
Apply a light coat of raw linseed oil to the face, edges, toe, and backโavoid overusing oil. Leave the bat horizontally for at least 12 hours
Apply a second coat if needed, and repeat the rest. Only oil exposed areas if your bat has an anti-scuff cover.
Proper oiling is essential before knocking-in begins.
๐จ Knocking In Your Bat
The knocking-in process compresses the wood fibers to make the bat match-ready.
Use a specialist hardwood bat mallet to gently strike the bat's face and edges, helping harden and round them.
This prevents cracks and damage during play.
The process must be gradual and patient to avoid internal fractures and ensure the bat is well prepared for matches.
๐ Final Preparation for Play
After oiling and initial knocking, continue the knocking-in with increased power over sessions. Spend 2โ3 hours minimum, then test with old cricket balls.If seam marks appear, continue knocking; bats can take up to 4 hours to be fully prepared.
โก Tip: Add a fiber glass tape after knocking-in to reinforce the batโs face and edges, helping prevent cracks, and edge chipping during play.
โ ๏ธ Warranty Terms
There is no guarantee or warranty against damage during play. It is natural for minor cracks to appear even in a well-prepared bat.
Proper knocking-in and maintenance significantly extend the batโs life but cannot prevent all impact damage.
Always inspect your bat regularly for cracks, dents and perform minor repairs promptly to maintain its strength and longevity.

Your Cricket Equipment Guide
Cricket Bats
Most cases the bats do hold up despite all this banging around, but when sometimes they donโt, do consider the possibility that bat or manufacturer may not be at fault. Some bats can last a few seasons, some not even a few days. We do our best to assist in such cases but in no uncertain terms do we claim our bats are 100% guaranteed. Bear in mind the below โ
ย
- Minor/superficial cracks on surface, edge, toe or shoulder is normal considering nature of usage
- Bats used against bowling machines that use synthetic hard balls is a big no-no
- Another big non-no is using bats in damp conditions. Or storing them similarly
- Expensive bats donโt necessarily mean theyโll last longer. Or vice versa
- Bats are happier with an extra layer of protectionโ self-adhesive tape for edges or face, rubber strip on toe.ย
- Break-in a bat nice and easy with a ball hammer or wood hammer or gently use in the nets for a couple of weeks before going all out in a game
- Bat-knocking machines is not a great idea. These knock-in the bat at a consistent (and usually high) pressure than hand-knocking. Shoulder, handle wedge and blade edges need gentle knocking-in which machines donโt care about than can cause micro almost invisible cracks that start expanding over time
- Stay away from inexpensive balls. These are comparatively hard that can lead to cracks, splits and breakages in the blade or handle
- Bats hate yorker deliveries. Donโt get tempted with those if your bat means more to you than getting out or hitting a few runs
- Bats are made to hit leather balls. Stay away from venting your anger out with them by hitting out at things (or people). Nor even banging down stumps to fix in the ground
Protective Gears
Any sport that has a rock-solid missile hurtling at you at more than a hundred miles will produce โouchโ moments. Sometimes much more than that. The sport of cricket is one such game. If youโre worried about injuries, stick with playing cricket on the screen. And for the bravehearts, we do our best to minimise injuries, not eliminate them.
While weโre here to make sure your gear gives you many months of play, sometimes these handmade goodies ainโt able to stand up to the rigors of the game. Bear in mind the below โ
- If your protective gear splits at the stitches or rips anywhere over time, usually a repair gets it going.
- However if it happens in initial few days of play and doesnโt show mishandling or inappropriate use, replacements can be considered
- Wear and tear and extensive usage is not covered
- Running around for those runs or diving like a wildcat can get your gear scraped/torn/split. Not much the gear can do in such cases
- Nice to wipe clean your gear once in a while with a slightly moist white cloth, specially on white gear. After all, cricketโs a gentlemanโs game and our gear should be looking fresh
- For those who sweat a lot, itโll be great if your sweaty gear is all dry before going back into the kitbag. Not only will this keep its neighborhood dry, but will prevent if from getting moldy if youโre not the daily types.
- Big no-no is drying in direct sunlight. Always remember to dry in the shade to maintain its life and keep it supple.
Cricket Shoes
- We usually take full responsibility for recently-bought shoes showing symptoms of upper tearing, or stitches coming out, or sole coming apart, or the spikes ripping out if not showing signs of inappropriate use.
- In all other cases, weโll be happy to offer a repair
- Over usage with normal wear-and-tear, some of the above may start showing at which means itโs time to get a new shoe
- And even if shoes look good to go, itโs always a good idea to get a new pair (depending on usage), as heavy impacting of the shoe over tome makes the sole rigid reducing its ability to shock-absorb
Cricket Helmets
- Most of our helmets come from sources whoโve been making motorcycle helmets for years. So theyโre actually designed for much more challenging impacts.
- Weโve never had any issues with helmet quality. Why? Because helmets ARE supposed to crack on impact. Theyโre actually for single time use.
They crack because thatโs their job. All helmets need to crack. To take it upon themselves than pass on the impact to the user. Some cracks show up because theyโre big, microscopic ones donโt. - So get yourself a new helmet even after one impact, however minor the impact might be. Whether the crack shows or not.
- Trust us โ weโre concerned about your safety more than selling more helmets. Read about it. Talk to a pro.
- Your grill breaks, fabric tears outside the shell or inside, chin guard or neck adjuster comes apart, buckle snaps โ itโs rare, but if at all whenever it happens, give us a shout and weโll fix it
Apparels/Kit Bags
- Any tearing in fabric, stitches opening up, buttons ripping out, color runs shouldnโt happen when your apparel is new. Weโll gladly offer a replacement or refund, including return freight if fault is considered genuine.
- All of the above in kitbags as well โ additionally including straps, wheels, pullout trolley and zipper. Weโll try to fix it with a repair if possible, otherwise replacement or refund as above. Of course depending if itโs still relatively new and hardly used. Will not apply to inappropriate usage.
Cricket Balls
- These are the guys who get banged around the most โ ball after ball. For the entire length of the game. Not even a breather. Zero respite to rest and recover, though maybe in between overs provided theyโre not getting bounced from one player to another.
- We do our best to make them get through this all with their shape (and dignity) intact.ย But considering the beating they get, theyโre bound to wear-out and get outashape once in a while (like some of us too). However as long as they fall within the Go/No-go standards set by the ICC boys, theyโre good to go until the Umpire decides otherwise.
- Nevertheless, if you still feel youโve been wronged and feel the ball shouldโve performed differently, let us know and weโll do our best to resolve.
