FAQs

Senior cricket stumps are 28 inches (71 cm) tall, with 9-inch bails resting on top. Junior age-group cricket uses shorter stumps - typically 25 inches (63.5 cm) for under-11 and under-13 fixtures - to match the smaller pitch dimensions and bowling distances.
A full cricket stumps set contains six stumps (three per wicket) and four bails (two per wicket). Some retail sets include only three stumps and two bails - enough for one wicket - so always check the quantity before ordering for matches or nets.
Spring-return stumps use a weighted base with a spring mechanism that pops the stump back upright after being hit. They save time in net sessions where stumps are hit repeatedly and are used in coaching, practice and indoor cricket - not in formal matches.
Traditional cricket stumps are made of ash wood, which gives the correct weight and sound when struck. Plastic and moulded stumps are cheaper and lighter, useful for garden or indoor training. Professional match stumps are often English ash with the brand name stamped at the top.
