Junior Cricket Bats — The Right Size for Young Players
CBP junior cricket bats are handcrafted and sized specifically for young players, so children can learn the game with a bat they can actually pick up, swing and control. A bat that is too big or too heavy forces poor technique and slows a young batter down; the right junior size helps them time the ball, play straight and build confidence from the very first net session. Every CBP junior bat is pre-knocked and ready to play, with free shipping across India.
Junior cricket bat size guide
Choose the bat by the player's height, not just their age. As a rough guide: Size 1 suits players around 4'0"-4'3", Size 2 around 4'3"-4'6", Size 3 around 4'6"-4'9", Size 4 around 4'9"-4'11", Size 5 around 4'11"-5'2", Size 6 around 5'2"-5'6", and taller teens move up to Harrow or Short Handle (SH) adult bats. If your child is between sizes, message us on WhatsApp with their height and we will recommend the best fit.
English willow or Kashmir willow for juniors?
For young players starting out or playing with a tennis or softer ball, a Kashmir willow junior bat offers great value and durability. For juniors playing serious leather-ball and match cricket, an English willow junior bat gives a bigger sweet spot and more power. Both are available in junior sizes at CBP.

Parts of a junior cricket bat
A junior bat has the same parts as a full-size bat, scaled down for smaller players: the blade is the hitting surface, with the sweet spot (the middle) where the bat hits hardest; the edges and spine add power; the toe is the base of the blade; and the handle is sized for smaller hands so young players can control the bat properly.
