REPLACEMENT POLICY :

Our endeavor all these years – and many more to come, is to supply products that meet quality norms that are the best in the industry.
Which gets a bit challenging when each piece is made by hand with majority materials being of 100% natural origin like wood, leather, cane, bamboo, cork, rubber etc. Added to this is the fact the nature of the game of cricket is extremely volatile and unexpected. Just imagine the scenario –
– Ball made by hand of 100% natural materials hits bat, also made by hand of 100% natural material,
– Speed, direction, length of the ball’s trajectory is uncertain,
– Responded to by the batsman who’s recoil speed, direction and the trajectory are as much uncertain,
– Impacted on the bat at no consistent or predictable spot,
And we have a huge potpourri of possibilities of gear not always staying on track !!

CRICKET BATS :

Most cases the bats do hold up despite all this banging around, but when sometimes they don’t, do consider the possibility that bat or manufacturer may not be at fault. Some bats can last a few seasons, some not even a few days. We do our best to assist in such cases but in no uncertain terms do we claim our bats are 100% guaranteed. Bear in mind the below —

1. Minor/superficial cracks on surface, edge, toe or shoulder is normal considering nature of usage
2. Bats used against bowling machines that use synthetic hard balls is a big no-no
3. Another big no-no is using bats in damp conditions. Or storing them similarly
4. Expensive bats don’t necessarily mean they’ll last longer. Or vice versa
5. Bats are happier with an extra layer of protection– self-adhesive tape for edges or face, rubber strip on toe. Both are sold by Spartan Sports Corporation as an accessory
6. Break-in a bat nice and easy with a ball hammer or wood hammer — also sold by Spartan Sports Corporation as an accessory. Or gently use in the nets for a couple of weeks before going all out in a game.
7. Bat-knocking machines is not a great idea. These knock-in the bat at a consistent (and usually high) pressure than hand-knocking. Shoulder, handle wedge and blade edges need gentle knockingin which machines don’t care about than can cause micro almost invisible cracks that start expanding over time.
8. Stay away from inexpensive balls. These are comparatively hard that can lead to cracks, splits and breakages in the blade or handle
9. Bats hate yorker deliveries. Don’t get tempted with those if your bat means more to you than getting out or hitting a few runs
10. Bats are made to hit leather balls. Stay away from venting your anger out with them by hitting out at things (or people). Nor even banging down stumps to fix in the ground.

PROTECTIVE GEAR:

Any sport that has a rock-solid missile hurtling at you at more than a hundred miles will produce “ouch” moments. Sometimes much more than that. The sport of cricket is one such game. If you’re worried about injuries, stick with playing cricket on the screen. And for the bravehearts, we do our best to minimise injuries, not eliminate them.
While we’re here to make sure your gear gives you many months of play, sometimes these handmade goodies ain’t able to stand up to the rigors of the game. Bear in mind the below —

1. If your protective gear splits at the stitches or rips anywhere over time, usually a repair gets it going.
2. However if it happens in initial few days of play and doesn’t show mishandling or inappropriate use, replacements can be considered.
3. Wear and tear and extensive usage is not covered.
4. Running around for those runs or diving like a wildcat can get your gear scraped/torn/split. Not much the gear can do in such cases.
5. Nice to wipe clean your gear once in a while with a slightly moist white cloth, especially on white gear. After all, cricket’s a gentleman’s game and our gear should be looking fresh.
6. For those who sweat a lot, it’ll be great if your sweaty gear is all dry before going back into the kitbag. Not only will this keep its neighborhood dry, but will prevent if from getting moldy if you’re not the daily types.
7. Big no-no is drying in direct sunlight. Always remember to dry in the shade to maintain its life and keep it supple.

CRICKET SHOES :
 

1. We usually take full responsibility for recently-bought shoes showing symptoms of upper tearing, or stitches coming out, or sole coming apart, or the spikes ripping out if not showing signs of inappropriate use.
2. In all other cases, we’ll be happy to offer a repair
3. Over usage with normal wear-and-tear, some of the above may start showing at which means it’s time to get a new shoe
4. And even if shoes look good to go, it’s always a good idea to get a new pair (depending on usage), as heavy impacting of the shoe over tome makes the sole rigid reducing its ability to shockabsorb.

APPAREL/BAGS :

Any tearing in fabric, stitches opening up, buttons ripping out, color runs shouldn’t happen when your apparel is new. We’ll gladly offer a replacement or refund, including return freight if fault is considered genuine.
All of the above in kitbags as well – additionally including straps, wheels, pullout trolley and zipper. We’ll try to fix it with a repair if possible, otherwise replacement or refund as above. Of course depending if it’s still relatively new and hardly used. Will not apply to inappropriate usage.

CRICKET BALLS :

These are the guys who get banged around the most – ball after ball. For the entire length of the game. Not even a breather. Zero respite to rest and recover, though maybe in between overs provided they’re not getting bounced from one player to another.
We do our best to make them get through this all with their shape (and dignity) intact. But considering the beating they get, they’re bound to wear-out and get outashape once in a while (like some of us too). However as long as they fall within the Go/No-go standards set by the ICC boys, they’re good to go until the Umpire decides otherwise.
Nevertheless, if you still feel you’ve been wronged and feel the ball should’ve performed differently, let us know and we’ll do our best to resolve.

TRANING EQUIPMENT :

These are the products that are meant to break while you are training hard setting up your skills and preparing yourselves for your matches and tournaments. Daily workouts and training means hard core practice, and during practice you, despite keen prevention and safety measures, tend to fall which may lead to breakages of training equipment like traffic cones, space marker cones, poles etc.
Hence, we cannot give up on practicing. Being this a little sensitive area, we do not stand responsible for the breakages occurred during training. But yes, if the product received is faulty / broken, we are happy to replace / refund.
So go – and just enjoy your cricket !! Leave your gear worries to the experts. We’ve been around more than 90 years now and with an ever growing customer base, we figure we must be doing something right !!
