Excellent advice and a fantastic range…
Our fourth visit to this specialist shop and Kent Cricket Direct always provides excellent advice and a fantastic range of cricket equipment to try out and choose from. We always book an appointment with the knowledgeable and passionate team, so you really get to draw on their experience and ensure that young players choose the best equipment for their size, build and standard of play. It is simply the best shopping experience!
Wow, what a service!
My sons second bat purchase from Kent Cricket, Southborough and wow what a service. A huge array of all things cricket, with multiple bats all grouped into size order for ease of selection. Helped by a different staff member with the extensive knowledge base, 6 bats that reflect a similar batting style were selected, and after a test drive in the awesome outdoor batting test net, the Kookaburra Ghost was the order of the day. In all the excitment I stupidly left my bag behind, but true to form all was well and I managed to run in today to pick this up, so a huge thanks to KCD for that. Honestly though, if you are anywhere near this shop and need cricket gear, forget the Internet, jump in the car, park in the side road near majestic and go in and have a chat. You won’t be disappointed.
Fantastic shop…
Fantastic shop and kind helpful owners! I would strongly recommend Kent Cricket Direct. I came to purchase a cricket bat after years. Dom refreshed my memory and guided me through first principles when selecting a cricket bat that suited me! (He even bought me a coffee!). It was a holistic approach.
After selecting a few options, I tried out at the net out back and went with the one pictured here and a few accessories for maintenance as recommended by Linda.
Whether you’re new to the sport, getting back in after a few years or seasoned, they are the one and only in Kent that deserve attention. Couldn’t thank them enough!
EXCELLENT Based on 108 reviews Posted on MrBryan690618/08/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They've been here in Southborough for 30 years!!.......Yes, 30 years, and I've driven past this place hundreds of times and never realised this gem was on my doorstep. It's true what they say, "precious things are precious for a reason" - They're hard to find. What a great place to visit if you're a cricketer, a fanatic of the sport, and especially a purist. I popped in to get my Nephew a gift. I'm surprised how well everything is priced for an independant shop. Great value and a warm welcome by the owners is what you'll get when you walk through the door. It's filled with quality products and brands that I recognise from my early days of cricket. This is one of the few independant cricket shops that have survived, and for good reason too. Sadly, many of the others have gone by the wayside. They get enthusiasts coming from all corners of the county, and beyond, to get great value, that personal touch, and shop for the quality brands of professionals and amateurs alike. Well done and best Wishes to you. Thank you 👍Posted on Keval Chandarana09/08/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Needed some gear for my daughter who has started playing hard ball cricket. Was served by Dominic who was really helpful and we got what we needed. Couldn’t recommend enough, especially for items you really need to try like gloves and pads.Posted on Sagar Patel19/07/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Especially Theo on the grip 😁Posted on Guy Zinzan11/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Visited on Monday to buy a cricket bat to replace the bat that I had previously bought from Kent Cricket Direct 11 years ago that had served me so well. Dan was super knowledgeable presenting me with lots of options that I was able to try in the outside net. I purchased a GM bat which Dan re-gripped to suit me. I can’t wait to use my new bat in the upcoming season.Posted on Ross and Danielle Wilde10/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very knowledgeable and great customer service. Our son had outgrown his current bat and we were recommended this place via the cricket club. Will definitely be recommending to others. Went the extra mile to make sure we were completely happy with the purchase. We will definitely be back ☺️
