DKP Pro Junior Cricket Bat | All Models Available

Please Note: While Long Handle cricket bats are advisable for taller players, and are particularly useful for digging out Yorkers,

it is not uncommon to see adults over 6ft 3” tall using a short handle bat - mainly because the grip is generally deemed to be more comfortable. 

It just comes down to personal taste.  If you are still unsure on the correct size, we would recommend that you message us and we will offer our expert advice.
