Product Information

Full details

FAQs

Is this ball suitable for practice sessions?

While it can be used for practice, it is designed specifically for match play and may wear down faster if used heavily against bowling machines.

Can this ball be used on wet grass?

It is not recommended. Moisture will damage the outer finish and may affect the internal bounce of the ball.

Does the ball retain its swing?

Yes, the prominent seam and balanced crown design are crafted to assist bowlers with swing and seam movement.

How should I clean off grass stains?

Use a soft, dry microfibre cloth to gently buff away grass stains. Avoid liquids or detergents.

Is this ball regulation size?

Yes, it adheres to standard cricket ball specifications suitable for competitive play.

Troubleshooting

The ball is losing its white color quickly

Ensure the ball is not being used on extremely abrasive surfaces or rough concrete practice wickets.

The ball feels soft or out of shape

Check for moisture absorption; ensure the ball is stored in a climate-controlled environment and never left in a damp kit bag.

Poor visibility under lights

Clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and grass stains that may be dulling the white pigment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your Readers County Crown Cricket Ball, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid exposing the ball to water, as moisture can penetrate the leather and compromise the inner core. If the ball becomes muddy during play, wipe it clean immediately with a dry cloth; do not use chemical cleaners or soaps, as these can strip the white finish. Always ensure the ball is thoroughly dried after a match before storing it in your cricket bag. This ball is compatible with standard match-grade stumps and protective gear.
