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 and tennis-ball cricket. This EDGE G2 selection is our value grade - dependable and hard-wearing for everyday practice and learning the game.

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.
| Profile |
Middle position |
Edge |
Spine |
Feel |
| VK (duck-bill) |
Mid to mid/low |
36-40 mm |
60-64 mm |
Lighter pick-up than its dead weight suggests. The profile most of our pros ask for. |
| HLS (high long spine) |
Mid |
36-40 mm |
60-64 mm |
Lighter balance with minimal concaving. |
| CBP |
Mid-low |
39-43 mm |
60-66 mm |
Slightly bottom-heavy, with the biggest edges and spine of the five and medium concaving to balance it. |
| SRT |
Low |
37-40 mm |
60-63 mm |
Bottom-heavy balance with minimal concaving. |
| TTS (toe to spine) |
Mid to mid/low |
37-41 mm |
60-65 mm |
Balanced true to weight, with an extended sweet spot and mild concaving. |
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.
