Enter the player’s height to find a practical starting size for a cricket bat. This calculator prioritises SG’s official height bands and the common Size 0–6, Harrow and Short Handle labels used by makers such as SS, DSC, MRF, BDM and SF. Height is more reliable than age alone, but the final choice should still feel controllable in the player’s stance and backlift.
Measure height without shoes, then choose centimetres or feet and inches.
| Starting size | Approximate player height | Where to browse |
|---|---|---|
| Size 0 | Under 122 cm | Junior bats |
| Size 1 | 122–129 cm | Junior bats |
| Size 2 | 130–136 cm | Junior bats |
| Size 3 | 137–144 cm | Junior bats |
| Size 4 | 145–151 cm | Junior bats |
| Size 5 | 152–159 cm | Junior bats |
| Size 6 | 160–164 cm | Junior bats |
| Harrow | 165–169 cm | Youth and Harrow bats |
| Short Handle (adult starting point) | 170 cm and taller | Senior bats |

The junior height bands follow the official SG bat size guide, from Size 0 through Harrow, with Short Handle as the usual adult starting point. SS, DSC, MRF, BDM and SF use many of the same size labels, but exact bat weight and profile can vary by model. You can also check the official DSC size guide.
