i have 2 batsman at home but i want to order english willow bat from amazon or flipkart ,what cricket bat size should i use, im 18 and im 5'8 tall
 
Depends on your stance, if you're upright then a standard men's size bat will suffice but if you tend to crouch and or bend over then a SSH (super short handle) will work but being honest I've not seen SSH bats on either amazon or flipkart.

GM offer an Academy size bat if SHH are not available.
 
i didnt yet im waiting for somebody to tell what size i should get
 
Probably too late with this but 4/5/6/Harrow are children's sizes, you're 5'8 so just get a normal short handle bat and you'll be fine.
 
Never heard of size 7 and 8, but I'm going to guess that they are Harrow and Short Handle respectively.

If it tells you the length of the bat on the website then you can use that to work it out yourself, if it doesn't then email them and say you want a Short Handle bat.
 
Essex County Cricket Club have received a 12-point County Championship points deduction from an independent panel of the Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) after the club and batter Feroze Khushi admitted a breach of ECB Directives 3.2 and 3.3.

Essex appealed the CDC’s decision on sanction and that appeal has now been dismissed by a separate CDC Appeal Panel.
Mr Khushi used a bat which failed a bat-gauge test during Essex’s Vitality County Championship match against Nottinghamshire on 6 April 2024 and a number of subsequent tests thereafter.

The CDC imposed a 12-point deduction in the 2024 Vitality County Championship, with a further penalty, suspended for two years, of half the available match points (to include any available bonus points) in any competition. Mr Khushi was also issued with a reprimand. Those sanctions have been upheld by a CDC Appeal Panel.
