Which size should I choose?

Junior bats are sized by the child's height rather than age alone. As a rough guide, Size 1 suits about 4'0"–4'3", Size 2 about 4'3"–4'6", Size 3 about 4'6"–4'9", Size 4 about 4'9"–4'11", Size 5 about 4'11"–5'2", and Size 6 about 5'2"–5'6". Pick-up weight rises from roughly 420g in the smallest size to around 950g in Size 6 - always choose a bat light enough to swing freely.

About the willow

Kashmir willow is denser and more durable than English willow, which makes it excellent value and very forgiving for beginners. This EDGE G1 selection uses straighter-grained, cleaner Kashmir clefts for a crisper feel and more reliable power than a standard Kashmir bat.

Choosing your profile

Every CBP bat comes in five profiles. The profile sets where the spine sits and how the weight is distributed down the blade, which decides where the middle falls and how heavy the bat feels when you lift it. Two bats of the same listed weight can feel completely different because of it.

As a rough guide, a low or mid-low middle (SRT, CBP) rewards front-foot players and the slower, lower pitches most of us play on in India, where you are driving and working the ball square. A mid middle (HLS, TTS) suits back-foot play and bouncier tracks. VK is the safe all-round pick if you are not sure.

Care, warranty and delivery

It arrives pre-knocked and ready to play. Kashmir willow needs less oiling than English willow: a light coat once a season is plenty, and over-oiling will deaden the blade. Keep a scuff sheet on the face for hard-ball cricket and dry the toe properly after games on damp ground. Buying for a growing player? Go up a handle size rather than up in weight, and check the fit again at the start of each season. Covered by a 1-year handle warranty, set out on our cricket bat warranty page. Free shipping across India, usually dispatched within 1 to 2 business days.
