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.

Testimonial from website customer Elliot Fineberg in USA: “Linda and her team at Kent Cricket Direct did an exemplary job of helping me kit me and my teammates out in the middle of the 2022 season. She helped me to find the perfect bat that I had been searching for, as I had been unable to find it anywhere in the USA or anywhere else in the UK at the time. Incredibly generous with her time, she answered all of my questions with regard to pre-purchase advice and assisted me in finding a way to post my order to the USA. I was thrilled to receive my order across the pond within a week of dispatch, and once again, Linda and her husband were ready to answer all of my questions with regard to the preparation of my new bat. My teammates are thrilled to have even all of the little things that are difficult to find in the USA – proper cricket hats, bat care supplies. I look forward to being a repeat customer.”

Testimonial from shop visitor Rob Kruger, Botswana: “Good evening, I felt the must to send this email this evening on the outstanding service I received today from the young gentleman that works / operates your store in Southborough. I came into the store this morning with my son looking for a cricket. We had driven up from Hythe were I was visiting my mother. On entering the store, from the greeting to when we left his service was outstanding. I eventually left after purchasing two bats , two sets of boots , two sets of gloves and four grips. In that time nothing was a hassle for him especially when it came to the trying the bats & boots. Please can I ask that you forward / show him my email and appreciation for his excellent service.”

For £5.50 postage for a pair of gloves I expected it would be next day or at least 48hrs delivery, as is usual for online purchase. There's no clear delivery info, apart from having now found it in FAQ's, and discovered it is 5-8 days delivery timescale.  I always try to buy from independent retailers, but this would put me off buying again.  Ordered Monday evening thinking I'd have gloves for boys cricket match on Saturday but not received yet.  No other problems with online ordering and price of product was good.  Thank you.

Always an enjoyable experience. The owners are so helpful, knowledeable and friendly. I've bought most of my cricket equipment from here over the years. The stock is very well organised and presented. I particularly like that all the cricket bats have their weights displayed. I thoroughly recommend this shop.

Been to this lovely little shop to get some cricket stuff for my son. Lynda is very welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and helps you to make an informed choice/ decision. None of the pressure sales tactics.  Will definitely come back again and would highly recommend to others. They do have a good collection of cricket equipment for all ages.
