A Cricket bat warranty is a goodwill agreement offered by all bat manufacturers to repair or replace a bat that has suffered damage believed not to be the fault of the Customer. Akscricket supports all genuine Warranties. Warranty decisions are entirely at the discretion of the manufacturer. There is no certain time a Cricket Bat will last being made from a natural material that has the incredibly hard task of hitting a solid object repeatedly and can even break from ball 1. A small amount of cracking is normal & has no impact on the performance and usability of the bat. Cracking is not a sign of a faulty bat, but an indication your bat requires further knocking in. We recommend always having an facesheet applied to the face of the bat as it extends the life of the bat and prevents minor cracking.

Subject to the following terms & conditions AT Sports will repair or replace your product at the manufactures discretion All bats sold by AKS cricket receive a 12 month Warranty at the discretion of the manufacturer. Replacement bats will have a maximum of 6 months warranty (from the time of replacement) Handle, Toe, Edges, Shoulder are not covered under warranty as they are vulnerable areas and can break due to incorrect shot selection Once a cricket bat is deemed to be used (Includes Knocking and Oiling) it is not eligible for return but is still eligible for a repair and/or replacement under warranty
