A pro shop, run by people who play
Cricket and hockey gear from eight branches across South Africa, most of them inside a Test ground.
The Cricket Company is a cricket and hockey pro shop. Our home is the shop at DP World Wanderers Stadium in Illovo, and we trade from eight branches countrywide — Wanderers, SuperSport Park in Centurion, Newlands, Kingsmead, Alberton, Brooklyn in Pretoria, Potchefstroom and Benoni.
Being at the grounds matters more than it sounds. It means the people behind the counter are watching the same cricket you are, handling the same new-season bats, and having the same arguments about whether a 2lb 9oz is too light for a front-foot player. When you ask what to buy, the answer comes from someone who plays.
What we stock
One of the deepest cricket ranges in South Africa — over 900 cricket lines, with more than 300 bats in stock at any time. Gunn & Moore, Gray-Nicolls, Kookaburra, SS, SG, MRF, DSC, New Balance, Adidas, Puma, Masuri, Shrey and more.
Bats, batting and keeping gloves, pads, helmets, thigh guards, chest guards, shoes, bags, balls and clothing. Hockey too — sticks, shoes, protective gear and bags from Grays, Osaka, TK, Princess, Brabo and others.
We also carry SA20 franchise kit and Proteas replica shirts, which tend to move quickly in season.
Buying from us
Everything on this site ships countrywide. You can also collect from a branch — wait for the email confirming the order is ready before travelling.
Because stock sits across eight branches, an order with several items sometimes needs consolidating before it ships. How delivery works sets out the real timings, and returns explains what happens if something is not right.
Not sure about a size? Phone the branch nearest you before ordering. Bat size in particular is worth getting right first time — it is decided by the player's height, not their age.
Getting hold of us
Every branch address and phone number is on the stores page. For anything about an online order, WhatsApp the online team on 082 443 9703 or email [email protected].
