Which size and weight should I choose?

Size follows height. Harrow suits taller juniors and adults up to roughly 5'6", Short Handle covers most adults between 5'6" and 6'0", and Long Handle, Long Blade and LB/LH add reach for players above that. This bat is made in the 1,150 to 1,220 g range, a comfortable middle for club and tennis-ball batters: light enough to swing freely, heavy enough to carry the ball off the middle. If you are buying for a growing player, go up a size on the handle rather than up in weight. Our cricket bat size chart matches height to size.

About Kashmir willow and the G2 grade

Kashmir willow is denser and harder than English willow, which is why it costs a fraction of the price and holds up well to tennis-ball and practice cricket. It will not give you the same ping as a pressed English-willow blade, and that is the honest trade: durability and value rather than top-end rebound. G2 is our mid Kashmir grade, roughly five to ten grains, with natural colour variation and the occasional speck that has no effect on play. If you play regular leather-ball cricket and want more from the blade, the EDGE G1 steps up the grade, and the Saber G4 is our entry point into English willow. Our guide on English willow vs Kashmir willow sets out the difference in full.

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. Still deciding? Send us your height and where you score most of your runs on WhatsApp and we will tell you which one to take.

Care, warranty and delivery

The bat arrives pre-knocked, so it can go straight to the nets, but a little care goes a long way: oil the face lightly once a season, keep a scuff sheet on if you play with a hard ball, and dry the toe properly after games on wet ground. 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. Not sure which size or weight to pick?
