Hand Stitched by AJ Sports

A family business with its roots in the game, making premium cricket balls the proper way.

We started making cricket balls because we wanted one we could trust. A ball that stays hard, keeps its seam and plays true from the first over to the last.

We make every ball ourselves.

AJ Cricket Balls are manufactured in house by AJ Sports. From the leather to the last stitch, every stage happens under our own roof, by people who know what a good cricket ball should feel like in the hand.

The seam is where a ball earns its name.

Machines are quicker. Hands are better. Our seams are sewn by hand, row by row, so they stand proud, stay tight and give bowlers something to hold on to long after the shine has gone.

Made for the long game.

A cricket ball has to survive hours of punishment and still behave. We build ours to hold their shape and hardness through long spells, long innings and long seasons, because that is what the game asks of them.

The AJ Standard

Craft Over Speed

Every ball is finished by hand and checked by eye before it leaves us.

Honest Materials

Premium leather and a tightly wound core. Nothing that cuts corners.

Players First

We make balls we would be proud to bowl with and bat against ourselves.
