Adult Cricket Bats

Adult cricket bats generally come in two main sizes: short handle and long handle.Short handle cricket bats are the standard size used by adult players. They typically have a blade length of around 32 to 33.5 inches (approximately 81 to 85 centimetres). The handle length is standard and shorter compared to long handle bats. These bats are suitable for most adult players and are widely used in professional and recreational cricket leagues worldwide.Long handle cricket bats are similar to short handle bats but have a slightly longer handle. The blade length remains similar, but the handle is typically longer, providing additional reach and leverage. Long handle bats are preferred by taller players or those who feel more comfortable with a longer handle grip. The length of long handle bats usually ranges from around 33.5 to 34.5 inches (approximately 85 to 87.5 centimetres).These sizes cater to the diverse needs and preferences of adult players, ensuring they can find a bat that suits their physique, playing style, and comfort.
