As a sport with long history and rich tradition, cricket has seen little enhancement with regards the performance of the cricket bat since its inception. Most of the recent work has focused on blade design variations, while radical improvement to the blade is limited by the rules of the game. The aim of this study is about mapping the best performance range of the bat and finding a way to improve the performance of the bat within the laws of the game. A Finite Element model of the cricket bat was developed. It was shown that the lower the dwell time (ball-bat contact time), the less the bat deflection and hence more energy is transferred to the ball. The simulated stiffening of the bat’s handle with fibre-reinforced rubber was shown to mimic this reduced dwell time phenomenon.
