How to Choose The Right Size Junior Cricket Bat?

Junior cricket bats are available in a multitude of sizes that range from Size Zero to Harrow. Now that may sound a little confusing as what does Harrow mean? So it's probably easiest to say that Harrow the term is used for a Size 7 bat. That means we have Sizes 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and Harrow.

Its important to use the correct size cricket bat as that will maximise enjoyment and it will help to ensure success on the field as the bat will be easy to move around thanks to the correct height of the bat and it will be light enough to use as well.

1. Consider the Player’s Height

The size of the cricket bat should be appropriate for the junior player’s height. Use the following general guide:

Player Height	Recommended Bat Size
3' 11" (Up to 120 cm)	Size 0
3' 11" - 4'3" (120 - 129 cm)	Size 1
4'3" - 4'6" (129 - 137 cm)	Size 2
4'6" - 4'9" (137 - 144 cm)	Size 3
4'9" - 4' 11" (144 - 150 cm)	Size 4
4' 11" - 5'2" (150 - 157 cm)	Size 5
5'2" - 5'4" (157 - 163 cm)	Size 6
5'4" - 5'7" (163 - 170 cm)	Harrow

2. Weight of the Bat

The bat should not be too heavy for the junior player, as this can affect their ability to play shots correctly.
A lightweight bat allows better control and helps develop proper batting technique.

3. Bat Length

If the bat is too long, it may be difficult to manoeuvre properly. So its best to use the size guide above to ensure you choose the correct sized bat.

4. Handle Size

Where adult bats have a short and long handle options, junior bats are made with single length handle which may vary on the bat size.

5. Type of Willow

Kashmir Willow: Durable and suitable for beginners.
English Willow: Lighter, better performance and just as easy to maintain as Kashmir willow.

6. Try It Out

Let the junior player hold and swing the bat to check if it feels comfortable.
Ensure they can lift it easily and play shots without strain.

7. Growth Considerations

The temptation maybe there to get a bigger size bat, please resist this temptation. Getting the right size now helps ensure success on the field.
A bat that is too large can hinder technique development.
