What are you sizing?

Open any section below. You can keep more than one chart open to compare.

BatsMatch bat size to player height.

Measure the player’s height

Stand upright without shoes and measure from the floor to the top of the head. Use the height chart as a starting point, then check the chosen brand’s size information.

Check control, not just height

The player should be able to lift and swing the bat comfortably. Avoid choosing an oversized bat simply for growing room.

1 120 - 129 cm
2 129 - 137 cm

Batting glovesMeasure wrist to middle fingertip.

Measure hand length

Lay the hand flat and measure in a straight line from the start of the wrist to the tip of the middle finger. Compare with the chart and the product’s sizing information.

Check the grip

Close the hand around a bat handle. The palm should lie flat without bunching, and the fingers should bend comfortably.

Measure from the centre of the kneecap to the top of the foot, where the tongue of the shoe sits. Compare with the brand’s measuring method before ordering.

The knee should sit comfortably in the pad’s knee area. Fasten the straps, then walk and bend to check that the pads stay in place.

Cricket shoesCheck the size system before choosing.

US sizes are most common

Most shoes on our website are listed in US sizes. Check the sizing note at the bottom of the product description before purchasing, as some brands or models use a different size system.

Measure both feet

Measure heel to longest toe while standing, then use the larger foot’s measurement with the specific brand’s shoe chart. Do not assume the same size number fits identically across brands.

Try them with playing socks

Check for comfortable toe room and a secure heel. Walk and change direction to make sure the shoes feel stable without rubbing.
