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

My daughter is well impressed and can't wait to use it. Fantastic bat. Fantastic craftmanship and fantastic service. My daughter is well impressed and can't wait to use it. Unfortunately, my son has taken a liking to it.... Thank the heavens it's a little too small for him! I'm busy annoying family and neighbours by knocking it in now....
Outstanding craftsmanship / brilliant service. Outstanding craftsmanship / brilliant service
The pick up is great and pings nicely off the middle. Really pleased with the bat, the pick up is great and pings nicely off the middle. Quick and easy order process.
Really impressed with the quality of the willow and speed of delivery. Quality and speedy service. I ordered a new bat for my boy, really impressed with the quality of the willow and speed of delivery.
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 excellent performance with minor cosmetic blemishes, making it a more affordable alternative to higher-grade bats while still delivering great ping and balance.
Grade 1 willow is the highest quality with straighter grains and minimal blemishes. Grade 2 willow has slightly more visible markings but still offers strong performance and is often used by serious amateur and club-level players who want value for money.
English willow is more expensive because it is grown in limited quantities, has superior moisture content for better ping, and is preferred for high-performance cricket bats. Its softness allows for better power transfer and overall feel when hitting the ball.
Grade 2 short handle bats are ideal for adult players at club or league level who want a professional feel without the premium price. They suit top-order batters and all-rounders looking for a reliable, well-balanced bat for match play and nets.
A short handle bat is the standard size for adult players, typically recommended for individuals between 5’8” and 6’2” tall. It provides optimal control and manoeuvrability, especially when combined with a lighter weight like 2lb 8oz.
Designed for club cricketers who want premium performance without the premium price, our Grade 2 Short Handle English Willow Cricket Bat (2lb 8oz) is a brilliant buy for serious players. Whether you're building an innings or smashing it through the covers, this bat delivers balance, control, and confidence every time you walk to the crease.
Made for adult players who prefer a lighter feel without compromising on power, this bat is ideal for top-order batters, confident stroke players, or all-rounders who value touch and timing. Perfect for weekend league cricket, nets, and pre-season, it offers everything you need in one affordable, match-ready package.
Our 2lb 8oz Grade 2 Short Handle cricket bat combines a generous sweet spot with large edges, giving you more forgiveness on mis-hits and a satisfying ping when you middle it. The round handle and round toe design enhance grip and manoeuvrability, allowing you to play your shots with freedom and precision.
Every cleft of English willow is hand-selected and made in our Sussex workshop, ensuring consistent performance and long-term value. Whether you're cutting behind square or launching into a straight drive, this bat is built to perform under pressure.
