How to choose
Start with fit. Clothing that lets you move is clothing that fits. Measure your chest at its fullest and your waist at the narrowest point above the hip bone, and keep the tape level. Between two sizes, take the larger, because match shirts and trousers are worn loose. Our playing kit is sold as a half-sleeve T-shirt and lower combo in S, M and L.
Match your shoes to the ground. Spikes suit natural grass. Rubber-stud soles suit synthetic turf and cement. Flat soles suit indoor nets. The two cricket shoes on our shelf today have rubber outsoles. Measure your foot in millimetres, standing, and use the larger foot. Between two sizes, take the larger.
Look after your feet. Our socks include cushion-sole and crew ankle pairs. Cushioned socks are particularly useful for fast bowlers.
Cover your head and eyes. We list a Test cap, umpire hats and nine pairs of sunglasses. For hot days, add arm sleeves, headbands, wristbands or a bandana.

Frequently asked questions
What should I wear for cricket so I can move freely?
Wear clothing that fits, because fit matters more than price. Look for comfort, breathable fabric and flexibility. Batters need free footwork, bowlers an unrestricted run-up, and fielders room to sprint, bend and dive. Test kit the way you will use it. Walk, bend, take your stance and move sideways.
Which cricket shoes should I buy for turf, grass or nets?
Match the sole to the ground. Spikes suit natural grass. Rubber-stud soles suit synthetic turf and cement nets, and flat soles suit indoor nets. Do not wear spikes on synthetic surfaces. Both shoes on our shelf today have rubber outsoles and are listed for batters, bowlers, fielders and keepers.
Which cricket socks are good for fast bowlers?
Look for cushioning at the heel and the ball of the foot, because a bowler's feet take repeated impact. A fabric that moves sweat away helps, and a snug fit stops the foot sliding inside the shoe. Our range has cushioned and crew ankle socks. Both come in men's sizes.
Do sunglasses help in cricket?
Yes, mainly for glare and comfort. Sunglasses cut reflected light from the pitch, help you pick up the ball against a bright sky and reduce eye strain over a long day. Polarized lenses are made to block reflected glare. Six of our nine pairs are listed as polarized, and six as UV400.
