🏏 Gray-Nicolls Tempesta 1250 Play Now Junior Cricket Bat – Grade 2 English Willow Junior Bat
The Gray-Nicolls Tempesta 1250 Play Now Junior Cricket Bat is a premium junior English willow cricket bat designed for young players who want power, balance and confidence at the crease.
Crafted from Superior Grade 2 English Willow, the Tempesta 1250 gives developing junior cricketers a high-quality blade with strong performance and excellent feel through the ball.
The low-mid profile, even bow and large hitting area make this bat ideal for junior batters who like to play all around the wicket, combining controlled stroke play with strong power through the middle.
This is a Play Now cricket bat, meaning it has been factory prepared to reduce preparation time. However, additional knocking-in and gradual net use with an older ball is still recommended before full match use against a leather cricket ball.

Choosing a cricket bat comes down to four things: size, weight, willow and how it feels in your hands.
- Size: most adults use a Short Handle bat. For juniors, choose by height, and if they're between sizes, go smaller.
- Weight: pick the heaviest bat you can swing comfortably for a whole innings, not the heaviest you can lift.
- Willow: English willow is lighter and livelier for hard-ball cricket. Kashmir willow is tougher and more affordable, great for a first bat.
- Knocking in: a new English willow bat needs knocking in before you face a leather ball, unless it's sold as Play Now or Match Ready.
