Cricket Bat Size Guide

For junior players under 15, height is a more important issue. At this stage, they are still growing and the length of the bat needs careful consideration. Tall players using short junior bats, and vice versa, will find the equipment uncomfortable and this can affect their technique.

In contrast, in adulthood, the body has stopped growing and, by this stage, batsmen should know their game. Player height carries less relevance and the bat’s weight, together with pick up and balance, are more important factors.

Factors to take into account here might include the player's height and their style of play. A smaller player would generally be looking for a bat with a short handle while those with taller stature would be happier with a long handle bat that comes close to the maximum dimensions.

Cricket has a specific rule relating to the dimensions of a cricket bat. Under law 57, the overall length should not exceed 38 inches (96.52 centimeters). In addition, the maximum width is set at 4.25 inches (10.8 centimeters) and the depth must not exceed 2.64 inches (6.7 centimeters).

This is the law by which all cricket, professional and amateur, should be played and it should not be possible to even purchase a bat that exceeds those limits. However, the exact ideal length will differ depending on the individual batsman.

The height of the batsman can be a deciding factor as they need to be comfortable at the crease. A bat of unsuitable length can affect performance and potentially would also lead to physical discomfort.
