White Cricket Balls

Playing T20 or one-day cricket? White is the limited-overs standard — the same construction as red, finished with a lacquer coat so it stays visible under floodlights and against coloured clothing. Senior 156g and junior 142g.

White cricket balls are the standard for all limited-overs cricket - T20, one-day matches and evening league cricket under floodlights. The white colour maximises visibility in artificial light, and modern white ball construction keeps the ball hard and the seam up through a shorter innings in a way that early-generation white balls could not. This collection covers our full white ball range: the White Test A Grade 2-layer for standard club T20 and one-day cricket, the White Super Test full cork ball for higher-level league matches, and the premium White Alum Tanned Royal Crown 5-layer - where the alum-tanning process delivers increased leather durability and consistent sheen across a full limited-overs innings.

  • Hardness Through the Innings: Modern construction on our White Super Test and Royal Crown keeps the ball hard through a T20 or one-day innings - essential for consistent pace bowling.
  • Seam Retention: Higher-grade balls maintain seam height through the innings, giving bowlers fair conditions in limited-overs cricket.

How to Choose White Cricket Balls

Match grade to competition level. The White Test A Grade 2-layer is the cost-effective choice for standard club T20 and one-day matches. For higher-level league cricket, the White Super Test full cork or Royal Crown 5-layer is the better investment.

Know how many balls your format uses. T20 uses one ball per innings. One-day (50-over) cricket typically uses two balls - one from each end. Check your competition regulations before ordering so you have the right quantity per match day.

White balls show dirt faster - plan accordingly. White balls scuff, grass-stain and show mud more visibly than red cricket balls. In wet conditions or on heavily grassed pitches, plan to replace match balls more regularly.

Do not substitute tennis balls in practice. White cricket balls have specific weight, seam height and hardness properties that tennis balls do not replicate. See our full cricket balls range for dedicated practice options.

Frequently asked questions

White balls are more visible than red under floodlights, making them the practical choice for evening and day-night cricket. Browse our red cricket balls collection if you play longer-format cricket and need match-grade red ball options.

Modern white ball construction has narrowed the traditional gap. White balls tend to lose surface shine faster, which can reduce conventional swing mid-innings. For T20 cricket, where the ball rarely deteriorates significantly within the format's overs, any swing difference is minimal. Compare with our red cricket balls for longer-format needs.

One white ball per innings in T20. In 50-over cricket, two balls are typically used - one from each end. At club level, specific rules vary by league - check your competition regulations. Stock up with our White Test A Grade 2-layer for reliable per-match supply.

For standard club T20 and one-day, the White Test A Grade 2-layer is a reliable, cost-effective choice. For higher-level league or representative cricket, the White Super Test full cork or Royal Crown 5-layer delivers better performance and more consistent conditions.

Yes, but match-grade balls are wasted in net practice. See our full cricket balls range for dedicated practice ball options, and reserve new white match balls for match day.
