Bat Weights
This guidance is for the purchase of adult bats.  Children size bats are scaled down in size and weight to suit the age group of the child and to assist technical ability.

Bat Weights	Actual Weight
Light	2lb 7oz – 2lb 9oz
Medium	2lb 9oz – 2lb 11oz
Heavy	2lb 11oz > 3lb

Batting/ Keeping Pads

The simplest method for ascertaining the correct size of the pad is by measuring the distance between the middle of the knee cap to the instep (where the tongue of your shoe would sit); this gives you the length of pad required.  The table below gives an approximate guide to the length of pads for each size.  Please note that unfortunately sizes can vary slightly between manufacturers. 

Size	Length
Small Boys	30-32cm
Boys	32-35cm
Youths	36-38cm
Mens	39-43cm
Large Mens	44-48cm

Batting/ Keeping Gloves
The critical measurement here is from the start of the wrist to the tip of your longest finger.  Again, sizes may vary between manufacturers so the table below for sizing, is only an approximate guide.

Size	Length
Small Boys	16 ½ cm
Boys	17 ½ cm
Youths	19 cm
Mens	21 cm
Large Mens	22 ½ cm

Helmets
To measure for a helmet you should run a tape measure around the middle of the forehead, just above the eyebrows, around the side (just above the ears) and across the bump at the back of the head.  A good fitting helmet should be worn with the peak protruding horizontally from the line of the eyebrows. 

Size	Approx Age	Head circumference
Small Boys	7-8	51-52cm
Boys	8-9	53-54cm
Youths	10-12	54-56cm
Small	Adult	56-58cm
Medium	Adult	58-60cm
Large	Adult	60-62cm

Shirts/ Tops and Shorts/Trousers
Cricket shirts tend to be loose fitting for maximum comfort and ease of movement during play of a match.  Trousers are usually supplied with unfinished legs which can be adjusted to the correct length.  This section provides a guideline to fit only as sizes for clothing can vary from brand to brand.

Youths	32/34”	28/30”
