🏏 Is the Cost of Playing Cricket Too High?
Share
Where do you find more Affordable Cricket Kit?🏏
Cricket is one of the most loved sports in the UK, but there’s no denying it - getting fully kitted out to play has become more expensive than ever. For young players and families on a budget, the rising price of quality cricket gear can be a real barrier to entry.
From bats and gloves to pads, helmets, and bags, the cost of a full cricket kit can run into the hundreds of pounds. But does it have to be that way? At Prophecy Cricket, we don’t think so.
Why Cricket Equipment Costs Are Rising
If you’ve been shopping for cricket gear lately, you might have noticed the price tags creeping up. Here’s why:
- Premium Materials – English willow, the gold standard for cricket bats, is in high demand but short supply.
- Manufacturing Costs – Skilled handcrafting takes time and expertise.
- Import & Shipping Costs – Rising global transport costs have a knock-on effect.
- Big Brand Premiums – Some well-known names charge more for their badge than for better performance.
- Endorsements - Often you're paying a premium to use the same brand as star cricketers (but without the same quality).

At Prophecy Cricket, we believe every player (especially juniors) should have access to affordable cricket kit without compromising on quality. Our range of bats, gloves, pads, and bags is priced fairly and you'll get the same quality cricket kit as our Prophecy sponsored pros.
