All the cricket bats, except the juniors’ are listed as light, medium and heavy. The balance and the pickup of the bat is more important than the “dead weight” of the bats. The length of the bat is generally not more than 38” or 965 mm and width no more than 4.25” or 108 mm. The weight remains in between 1.2 to 1.4kg. A tough and solid ball is used for playing cricket.
