Cricket Bats
When selecting a cricket bat, choosing the correct size is very important. It is also very important to remember that a cricket bat is not like a piece of clothing that "you can grow into over time". Playing with a bat that is too big or small for you will affect the way in which you play and will hinder your performance levels and ultimately your enjoyment of the game. This size guide is indicative and you may find a certain size suits you better than is suggested. For example, many taller players still use SH bats.

Helmets
Helmets are now a very important part of your cricket kit. A helmet should fit firmly, there should not be too much movement and the helmet should not obstruct your vision. This means that the helmet will rest just above your eyebrows. The chart below should help you decide on the correct size based upon the measurements around your head.
