Choosing the right size cricket gear is essential for comfort, performance, and protection. Whether you're a player or a parent selecting equipment for a young cricketer, this guide will help ensure you make the best choice. Investing in suitable cricket equipment by choosing the right size ensures bad habits that ruin technique don't form when the player feels adequately protected and safe.
Note: These size guides are for reference only, and measurements are approximate.
An appropriately sized bat ensures proper technique, control, and ease of movement for the batter. Ideally, the bat should stand next to the player with the handle resting just below the hip joint as some players may have longer leg proportion. If you are considering buying the lightest english willow cricket bats from leading cricket equipment manufacturing brands like SS, SG, DSC, please see the table below to get an approximate idea and check against your player's height:
| Cricket Bat Size | Player Height | Approx. Age Group |
| 0 | Up to 120 cm | 4 - 5 years |
| 1 | 120 - 129 cm | 5 - 6 years |
| 2 | 129 - 137 cm | 6 - 7 years |
| 3 | 137 - 144 cm | 7 - 8 years |
| 4 | 144 - 150 cm | 9 - 10 years |
| 5 | 150 - 157 cm | 10 - 11 years |
| 6 | 157 - 163 cm | 11 - 12 years |
| Harrow | 163 - 168 cm | Teens / Small Adults |
| Short Handle / Full Size | 170 cm and over | Most Adults |
| Long Handle / Long Blade | If you are like Finn Allen or Marco Jansen! | Taller Adults |
✅ Tip: Bat size is not the only consideration, it is important to also check up to what weight can your cricket player hold a cricket bat steadily and comfortably.
To find the right size for your cricket batting gloves, measure from the base of your palm (start of your wrist) to the tip of your middle finger in a straight line. This measurement gives you an accurate idea of the glove size that will offer the best fit, comfort, and protection while batting.
Keep in mind: sizes may vary slightly between brands, so it's always a good idea to check the specific sizing chart for each brand like SG, Versant, DSC, Gray Nicolls, MRF or others before making your final choice.
A snug but flexible fit ensures better grip, control, and freedom of movement at the crease.
| Cricket Batting Gloves Size | Hand Length Measurement | Approx. Age Group |
| Small Junior | 16.5 cm | 5 - 7 years |
| Junior | 17.5 cm | 8 - 10 years |
| Youths | 19 cm | 11 - 13 years |
| Adult | 21 cm | Most Adults |
| Large Adult | 22.5 cm | Large hands / Pro fit |
✅ Tip: If you're between sizes, choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit, especially if wearing inner gloves.
For the perfect batting helmet fit, measure the circumference of your head using a soft measuring tape. Wrap the tape around your forehead just above the eyebrows, ears and bump at the back of your head. A secure helmet should feel snug, not tight, and shouldn’t wobble when you move your head. Some brands like Moonwalkr have their own size charts that are slightly different.
| Cricket Helmet Size | Head Circumference | Approx. Age Group |
| Small Junior | 51 - 52 cm | 5 - 7 years |
| Junior | 53 - 54 cm | 8 - 10 years |
| Youth | 54 - 56 cm | 11 - 13 years |
| Small Adult | 56 - 58 cm | Teens / Small Adults |
| Adult | 58 - 60 cm | Most Adults |
| Large Adult | 60 - 62 cm | Larger Heads / Pro Fit |
✅ Tip: Look for adjustable straps and padding for a more custom fit.
To find your perfect batting pad size, measure from the top of your foot (where the tongue of a shoe would sit) to just below the centre of your kneecap. This helps ensure full protection and flexibility without restricting movement.
| Cricket Batting Pad Size | Measurement | Approx. Age Group |
| Small Junior | 30 - 32 cm | 5 - 7 years |
| Junior | 32 - 35 cm | 8 - 10 years |
| Youth | 36 - 38 cm | 11 - 13 years |
| Small Adult | 39 - 41 cm | Teens / Small Adults |
| Adult | 41 - 43 cm | Most Adults |
| Large Adult | 44+ cm | Taller Adults / Pro Fit |
✅ Tip: Pads should cover the knee and sit comfortably without interfering with footwork.
