GM Diamond Wheelie Cricket Bag — Junior Cricket Bag with Wheels
Overview
The GM Diamond Wheelie Cricket Bag is a 55-litre junior cricket bag designed for school and club players who need practical, durable kit transport. Built from 600 Denier polyester with an engineered all-terrain wheel system, it rolls smoothly on any surface and switches to shoulder carry in seconds. It is part of the Ben Stokes-endorsed GM Diamond range.
With a 74cm × 31cm × 24cm footprint, the bag fits a full-size bat in a dedicated integrated sleeve while keeping pads, gloves, and a helmet neatly separated in the main compartment. The stow-away padded shoulder straps disappear cleanly into a rear pocket when you switch to wheeled mode.
The 2025 cricket season runs from April to September. Getting a reliable bag sorted before the first fixture saves a lot of last-minute stress. This bag is ready for the car boot, the pavilion, and the muddy walk between them.
Features
- 55-litre main compartment: Fits pads, gloves, helmet, and clothing for a junior player with room to spare.
- Integrated bat pocket: A dedicated sleeve holds a full-size bat securely, separated from the rest of your kit.
- Engineered all-terrain wheel system: Heavy-duty wheels with a custom GM wheel housing roll smoothly on grass, gravel, and hard floors.
- Stow-away carry straps: Two padded adjustable shoulder straps tuck away when using the wheels. No loose straps catching on everything.
- Zipped lid pocket: A top-access zipped pocket keeps valuables and smaller accessories within easy reach.
- Rust-proof GM designer zips: 8mm heavy-duty D-opening zips with GM-branded pullers that keep working season after season.
- Anti-scuff corner protection: Reinforced corners absorb the knocks of daily transport without wearing through.
- 600 Denier polyester build: Hard-wearing fabric that resists abrasion and holds its shape under load.
Design and Materials
The 600D polyester shell feels solid in the hand without being heavy. The fabric has a tight weave that resists snags and surface scuffs during match days. Pick it up by the padded top handle and it balances well, even when loaded with full junior kit.
The GM Diamond colourway is clean and distinctive. The anti-scuff corners are moulded rather than stitched, which means they stay intact far longer than fabric-only corner reinforcements. The wheel housing sits flush to the base and does not add unnecessary bulk to the bag's profile.
Key Technologies
Engineered Wheel Housing System: The GM wheel housing integrates the axle and wheel assembly into the base frame. This keeps the wheels stable under load and prevents the wobble common in cheaper bolt-on wheel designs.
600 Denier Polyester Fabric: Denier measures thread density. At 600D, the fabric is tough enough for daily use without the weight penalty of heavier canvas constructions. It holds its structure when fully packed.
8mm Rust-Proof D-Opening Zips: GM uses branded zip pullers made from rust-resistant metal. The D-shaped opening gives a firm grip even in cold or wet conditions. These zips are one of the first things to fail on cheaper bags. GM's hold up.
Stow-Away Dual Carry System: The padded straps fold into a rear panel pocket when not in use. This is a practical detail. Loose dangling straps catch on car boots and pavilion benches. Stowing them solves that cleanly.

VKS Review
The GM Diamond Wheelie Cricket Bag is one of the most practical junior kit bags on the market. The 55-litre capacity hits the right balance for players who need to carry full protection without dragging a bag that is too big for them to manage. The all-terrain wheels roll confidently across the uneven ground outside most cricket grounds.
The stow-away strap system is a genuine convenience. Other bags at this price have loose straps that flap around or get caught. Here they fold away completely. The integrated bat pocket is properly sized for a full short-handle bat and keeps it away from damp kit in the main compartment. That is an underrated feature on a junior bag.
Where the bag trades off against the larger GM 707 is volume. It is built for a junior player's kit load. A senior player with multiple bats or bulkier adult protection will need to step up. For its intended user, a junior at school or club level, it does the job well. You can view and handle this bag in person at our London store in Ealing before you buy.
Q&A Section
Is the GM Diamond Wheelie Cricket Bag suitable for junior players?
Yes. The bag is built specifically for junior and youth players. Its 55-litre capacity is sized to hold a junior kit load, including pads, gloves, helmet, and bat, without being too large or heavy for a young player to manage. It is part of GM's Ben Stokes-endorsed Diamond range, designed for the school and club level.
Can you carry the GM Diamond Wheelie Bag on your shoulder?
Yes. The bag has two padded adjustable shoulder straps for backpack-style carrying. When using the wheels, those straps stow away into a rear pocket so they do not hang loose. You also get a padded top grab handle for short lifts. It genuinely gives you three ways to move the bag.
What size is the GM Diamond Wheelie Cricket Bag?
The bag measures 74cm × 31cm × 24cm with a 55-litre capacity. That is the standard junior wheelie size and fits comfortably in a car boot or in the boot room at most cricket clubs. It is smaller than the GM 707, which is the right step up for senior players carrying heavier loads.
Does the GM Diamond Wheelie Bag fit a full-size cricket bat?
Yes. It has a dedicated integrated bat pocket along the side of the bag that holds a full short-handle bat securely. The bat is kept separate from the main kit compartment, which protects it from getting damp or damaged by other equipment. This is a useful feature at the junior price point.
Should I buy the GM Diamond or the GM 707 Wheelie Bag?
Choose the GM Diamond if you are buying for a junior or youth player at school or club level. Its 55-litre capacity suits a junior kit load well. Choose the GM 707 if you are a senior or adult player who needs more volume, multiple bat storage, or carries bulkier adult protection. The 707 offers 92 litres, which is a significant step up.
Which colours is the GM Diamond Wheelie Cricket Bag available in?
The bag is available in two colourways. Current options follow the GM Diamond range styling. Check the product page for live stock availability in each colour, as some colourways sell out faster than others during peak season. If you want to see the colours in person before buying, visit the VKS store in Ealing, London.
