The standard colour is all white trousers and shirts. Coloured team jerseys are allowed for ODI and T20 formats.

A great cricket store is one that caters to all things cricket all year round. Whether its bats, helmets, pads or bags everything should be there and in stock. There are a lot of sports stores that sell a variety of sports equipment but most lack the depth and selection when it comes to cricketing equipment and accessories. It is good to choose a store which has a widedisplay for cricket enthusiasts.

What To Look For In A Cricket Store

Cricket Clothing – Cricket clothing is an important item in a Cricket Store. They should have  Shirts, Trousers, Inner wear, Socks, Sweaters and Caps/Hats and baselayers.

Cricket Bats – A range of English Willow and Kashmir Willow bats in sizes 0 toH with small mens, short handle and long blade options. The Cricket Store should be able to offer repair services and have the facility to offer a knocking in service also known as seasoning. This is good because the bat is then ready to use and saves time on preparing the bat at home. A good collection of bats will include best known brands such as CA, Gunn & Moore, Infinity, MRF, Gray Nicolls, Kookaburra, SF Stanford, SS Ton, New Balance, Adidas, Keeley. These are professional play cricket bats.

Cricket Clothing for the Champions

Posted On April 26, 2024 by VKS

In the dynamic sport of cricket, proper attire is more than just a fashion statement—it’s essential for comfort, performance, and safety on the field. From battling scorching sunrays to braving unpredictable weather conditions, cricket clothing plays a pivotal role in ensuring players are equipped for every challenge. Let’s explore the must-have clothing for cricket players, covering both batting and bowling aspects.

Essential Cricket Clothing:

  1. Cricket Shirt: A lightweight, breathable cricket shirt is a fundamental piece of batting attire. Opt for shirts made from moisture-wicking fabrics to keep you cool and dry during intense innings. Look for designs with mesh panels for enhanced ventilation and freedom of movement.
  1. Cricket Trousers: Comfortable and durable trousers are essential for unrestricted movement at the crease. Choose cricket trousers with added durability, allowing you to dive and slide without hesitation. Elasticated waistbands and adjustable drawstrings ensure a secure fit.
  1. Cricket Socks: Don’t overlook the importance of high-quality cricket socks. Cushioned socks provide support and reduce the risk of blisters during long hours on the field. Look for moisture-wicking materials to keep your feet dry and comfortable throughout the game.
  1. Cricket Shoes: Proper footwear is crucial for maintaining grip and stability on the pitch. Invest in specialised cricket shoes with spikes or rubber studs designed for optimal traction and based on whether you primarily bat or bowl.
  1. Cricket Cap or Hat: Shield your eyes and face from harsh sunlight with a cricket cap or hat. Choose a wide-brimmed hat or a cap with a visor to provide ample sun protection while maintaining visibility.
  1. Arm Sleeves (Optional): Some bowlers prefer wearing arm sleeves to provide compression and support during bowling. Arm sleeves can help maintain muscle warmth and reduce the risk of strain or injury, especially in cooler conditions.
