The Squad @ CricMate Australia
Born in Melbourne, Victoria, CricMate is Australia's first national dedicated cricket brand – a locally-founded startup built by entrepreneurs who live and breathe cricket. We're not just retailers – we're international athletes, Cricket Australia-accredited state umpires, and community certified coaches who understand the game from every angle.
Our Story
As a new and passionate startup of 2026, CricMate Australia emerged from a simple belief: every cricketer deserves access to premium-quality equipment that elevates their game. Founded in the heart of Melbourne's vibrant cricket community by umpires and coaches who understand what it takes to perform at your best, we're dedicated to bringing world-class cricket equipment to players across Australia and beyond. CricMate isn't just our name – it's our commitment to being your trusted mate in cricket, fostering mateship and equality in everything we do. As the first national Australian brand dedicated exclusively to cricket, we're pioneering a new standard of excellence in cricket retail.
Our Business Model
As a startup, we currently operate through our e-commerce platform, with a niche strategy delivering handcrafted cricket equipment from our warehouse in Melbourne, directly to cricketers across Australia. We are proudly operating from Wadawurrung and Bunurong Country. While we're starting with online sales, our vision includes future outlets nationwide, B2B partnerships with clubs and academies. For now, we're focused on providing individual players the confidence to seamlessly access the finest cricket bats through our online store to your doorstep.
Premium Quality, Exceptional Experience
We know that purchasing a cricket bat is an investment – in your game, your performance, and your passion. That's why CricMate thrives on delivering the most valuable experience possible for every customer. From the moment you browse our collection to the day your bat arrives, we're committed to ensuring your investment is protected, respected, and celebrated.
Our carefully curated catalog features only Premium English Willow bats, including signature player editions from international stars like Tim David, Heinrich Klaasen and Smriti Mandhana. We partner with trustworthy brands like SS (Sareen Sports), SG (Sanspareils Greenlands) and TON to bring you advanced technology gear that performs when it matters most. Every bat, every piece of equipment is selected for its craftsmanship, performance, and durability. We believe in offering only what we'd use ourselves on the pitch.
Champions of Women's Cricket
CricMate is proud to support and champion women's cricket. We maintain a dedicated range specifically designed for female cricketers, featuring bats and equipment that meet the unique needs of women players at every level – from grassroots to elite competition. Equality on the pitch starts with access to handpicked equipment, and we're committed to making that a reality.
Integrity at Our Core
Integrity isn't just a value—it's how we do business. From honest product descriptions and transparent pricing to reliable delivery and responsive customer service, we're committed to earning your trust with every interaction. As a new startup, we know that our reputation is built one customer at a time, and we take that responsibility seriously.
