The Story
Crafting Cricket Since 1855
Gray-Nicolls is the oldest bat brand in the world, with roots stretching back to 1855 when H.J. Gray began hand-crafting bats in Cambridge. The brand was later shaped by L.J. Nicolls, and the two houses merged in 1940 to form the name known across every cricketing nation on earth.
From the famous Scoop that revolutionised bat design in the 1970s to the modern Havoc and Imperia ranges used by international stars today, Gray-Nicolls has always sat at the intersection of tradition and innovation. Every bat is made from premium English or Kashmir Willow, graded and pressed to exacting standards.
