Young cricket is more than just equipment for their overall comfort and protection, and having the right gear can significantly boost your child’s confidence. Here’s what to carry for every match for superior performance:

Different types of cricket bats are made with a different “grade” of willow. There are two main willow distinctions: English willow and Kashmir willow. Overall, English willow is superior to Kashmir since it lasts longer, is more “springy”, and more reliable. However, English willow is more expensive. Kashmir bats are great for beginners or for those looking to get into cricket without shelling out a lot of money. We have a wide selection of cricket bats at many different price points so you can find one that works for you and your budget. Besides willow type, there’s also the grade to consider. The grades range from 1 to 5 with 1 being the best in terms of making, reliability, and quality. Grade 1 is also, understandably, the most expensive. Consider your dedication to the game, your budget, and your skill level when picking the grade of the bat. A complete article on Imperfections of English Willow and Grade is here for you to read.
