About cricket kit bags

Cricket kit bags carry bats, pads, helmets, gloves and clothing. Academies, school teams and sports stores order them in duffle, wheelie and backpack formats, often with team branding.

Academies usually order ahead of the season; confirm junior and senior size split.

About racket bags

Racket bags carry one to six or more rackets with shoes, shuttles or balls and clothing. Academies order them in club colours, and sports brands source them as private-label products.

Academies usually order before the season starts, often with player names.
