A cricketer who is just starting out his career and is new to the game may feel lost when it comes to buying a bat for himself. He may get overwhelmed by the range of choices available in the market. If there is no proper guidance, he may end up buying the wrong bat size. An inappropriate bat size may not allow him to play to his full potential.

It is crucial to get a bat that supports your performance or you may just get frustrated and in the worst case scenario a wrong choice of bat can result in an injury. A prolonged injury makes a player lose form and just at the start of your career no one wants that. So how do you determine which cricket bat size is the one for you? There are laws for cricket bats set by the International Cricket Council (ICC). But you cannot expect a teenager to be aware of these rules right from the start.
