Choosing the correct size can make a major difference to comfort, safety and performance. Use these general guides as a starting point when selecting sports equipment. Individual products and brands can vary, so always check the product description and available size information before ordering.
Cricket bat sizing is normally based primarily on the player's height rather than age alone. Junior bats progress through sizes 0–6 before Harrow and full-size adult bats.
| Approx. player height | Typical bat size |
|---|---|
| Up to 4'0" | Size 0–2 |
| 4'0"–4'6" | Size 3–4 |
| 4'6"–5'0" | Size 5 |
| 5'0"–5'3" | Size 6 |
| 5'3"–5'5" | Harrow |
| 5'5"+ | Short Handle / Adult |
Note: These are general guidelines only. Strength, playing style and the weight of the bat should also be considered.
Cricket protection is commonly sold in junior, youth and adult sizing, with some products offering more detailed size options. Pads should cover the knee and shin correctly without restricting movement. Batting gloves should fit securely without excessive space at the fingertips.
Where possible, use the specific measurements shown on the individual product page, as sizing can vary between manufacturers.
Goalkeeper glove sizing is based on hand size. Measure around the widest part of the hand, excluding the thumb, and compare the measurement with the sizing information supplied for the glove.
Junior players commonly use approximately sizes 4–7, while older junior and adult players generally use sizes 7–11. This varies significantly by hand size, so measurement is more reliable than age.
A goalkeeper glove should fit snugly while still allowing full finger movement. Avoid excessive empty space at the fingertips.
| Ball size | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Size 3 | Younger junior players and introductory football |
| Size 4 | Junior football |
| Size 5 | Older youth and adult football |
