Gray Nicolls Crest Academy Cricket Balls are a fantastic value for money cricket ball that performs brilliantly despite its incredible price point.

Designed for entry-level junior cricket, the Crest Academy has been designed to last by our Gray Nicolls product designers.

A particular aim is to make cricket as accessible and affordable for young players, and this product works towards that goal. 

The Gray Nicolls cricket ball is machine stitched with high-quality thread ensuring the ball will keep its shape and for as long as possible.

With a hard shell lining, this will aid the lifespan of the cricket ball, which we hope can be used for a long time in the nets after its use in a game. 

Gray Nicolls have used a cork and rubber combination for the core of the ball which gives it a hardness that it will be able to retain in junior cricket.

The light lacquered finish is also durable, giving the Crest Academy every chance of lasting for a long time. 

Grade 3 Chrome tanned leather gives the ball a deep Red look so desired by bowling teams, no matter their age. 

If your club is looking for fantastic value for money cricket balls, the Crest Academy just can't be beaten.
