A short handle cricket bat refers to a cricket bat with a standard handle length, typically around 22 - 25cms. The handle is designed to provide a comfortable grip for adult players, facilitating control and manoeuvrability during the game. On the other hand, long blade cricket bats are ideal for players seeking a bit more willow, a longer reach, and a larger sweet spot.
Store your bat in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excess moisture. Avoid hitting the bat against hard surfaces, which can cause damage. Regularly oil and knock in your bat before using it in matches to improve its strength and prevent cracks.
