Hi! I’m Len. A cricket-mad dad who’s spent a lifetime chasing the perfect bat. Years ago, I struggled to find a high-quality cricket bat that didn’t cost the earth, so I decided to make my own. That’s how Trogon Cricket was born: a place where every bat is handmade by me using traditional tools and the best English willow, giving players top-level performance without the sky-high price. My hope is that our bats help cricketers of all ages play with confidence, passion, and a smile. And it’s not just bats, I’ve sourced top-quality pads, gloves, and other softs from trusted suppliers, ensuring every piece of gear offers exceptional protection and comfort at a price that makes sense. Whether you’re walking out to bat or diving in the field, our equipment is made to help you play your best without breaking the bank.
Happy Trogon Cricketers

Awesome bat! Great bat and loved everything about it. Amazing stick. Awesome bat! Great bat and loved everything about it.
This was ready from the off and the best bat I've ever bought. Best bat ever! Picked up this beauty in the winter, ready for pre season as its an absolute gun of a bat! Usually bats take 2/3 years to bed in and find there best, but this was ready from the off and the best bat I've ever bought!
It's changed her game completely! Perfect shape and beautifully light. I bought this for my daughter last week and it's changed her game completely! She's not the strongest girl on the pitch which makes the weight of this bat perfect for her and makes it easy for her to handle. Highly recommend this bat for any budding cricketer!

Cricket Bat Warranty
Cricket can be an expensive game to play, that's why here at Trogon, we are proud to offer a comprehensive product warranty on all our cricket bats, and soft leather goods, so whether you're purchasing a custom-made bat, a pre-made bat, or one of our top-quality leather pads, gloves, or kit bags, you can be confident that if anything goes wrong your are covered.
Let's start with our cricket bats.
Our bats are built to last, but even the toughest equipment can be vulnerable to damage from time to time. That's why we offer a warranty on all of our bats that covers horizontal breakage for up to 6 months from the date of purchase.
If the blade of your bat should break horizontally across the grains within that time frame, we will replace it like-for-like, no questions asked.
However, it's important to note that not all damage is covered under our warranty.
For example, if the blade is broken due to a lack of knocking in, or if the edges are cracked or the toe is damaged due to facing a yorker, these are considered to be normal wear and tear and are not covered under warranty.
To activate the cricket bat warranty, please click on this Google Forms Warranty and complete the details.
Yes, Grade 2 English willow is considered a good quality option for club cricketers. It offers a strong balance between performance and price, featuring some blemishes on the blade but still delivering excellent ping and power for serious players.
Grade 1 English willow is premium quality, with minimal markings and straight grains. Grade 2 willow, while slightly less aesthetic, still offers solid performance with good grain structure and responsiveness, making it an excellent choice for club players wanting high performance at better value.
With proper care, oiling, and knocking in, a well-made English willow bat can last multiple seasons. Grade 2 bats, like the one featured here, are built for durability and designed to withstand regular use throughout the season.
English willow bats are more expensive due to the slow-growing nature of the wood, its high performance characteristics, and the craftsmanship required to shape each bat. Grade 2 bats offer a great middle ground for those seeking quality without the top-tier price.
English willow (Salix Alba Caerulea) is widely regarded as the best wood for cricket bats due to its lightweight feel and exceptional rebound qualities. Grade 2 English willow, in particular, is ideal for players who want performance with value.
Designed for confident cricketers who know their game, our Grade 2 Short Handle English Willow Cricket Bat, weighing 2lb 12oz, is ideal for weekend warriors, club competitors, or those looking to refine their technique.
Whether you're driving through the covers or pulling with precision over the infield, this cricket bat offers a fantastic blend of value and performance. Carefully selected for its performance, this grade 2 willow delivers consistent ping, a responsive sweet spot, and enough power to help you push for those match-winning boundaries.
Perfect for club-level matches or serious net sessions, this bat offers balance and feel you can rely on.
With a weight of 2lb 12oz and a well-distributed middle, this bat gives you control at the crease without compromising on hitting power. Its short handle design is shaped for batters who favour comfort and control, making it a solid choice for both top-order stability and middle-order flair.
The round handle enhances grip and reduces vibration, while the rounded toe provides balance during fast footwork.
Whether you're nudging singles or clearing the ropes, you'll feel the quality with every stroke. Designed to meet your performance demands and built to help you deliver.
From the first game of spring to the final overs of summer, this Grade 2 English Willow bat is built to last. It’s an excellent choice for gifting too, whether for birthdays, team selections, or celebrating a season’s hard work.
With professional Trogon stickers and a natural finish, it looks as good as it performs. You can oil and knock it in, and it's ready to go.

We never outsource our production and never compromise on quality.
