Cricket Trophies and Awards Buying Guide: Every Design, Every Occasion
A cricket trophy isn't just hardware. It's the physical embodiment of a season's work — the six wickets on a turning track, the century that carried the team, the diving catch that turned the final. When you're organizing a tournament, a league awards night, or an end-of-season ceremony, the trophy you choose sets the tone for the entire event.
TopCricketStore carries the full Raydn cricket trophy range — designs from 7 inches to 20 inches tall, each with cricket-specific motifs that generic trophy shops can't match. Here's how to pick the right one for your occasion.
Raydn Cricket Trophy Range: Complete Breakdown
1. Trophy with Stumps, Bat and Ball — 8.5 inches
The classic design. A raised bat, stumps, and ball arrangement in gold-toned finish on a wooden base. This is the most popular trophy for league MVPs and end-of-season awards. It says "cricket" immediately — no ambiguity about what sport was played.
2. Trophy with Stars, Stump, Ball and Bat — 7 inches
A slightly smaller version with star accents around the base. Good for junior league awards or "Player of the Match" presentations where you want something substantial but not oversized. The star detail adds a touch of ceremony without being gaudy.
3. Trophy with Shield, Stump and Bat — 8.5 inches
The shield-back design is ideal for club championship trophies. The shield element gives it a formal, institutional feel — this is the trophy that stays at the clubhouse for years with winners' names engraved on the base.
4. Player Batting Trophy — 20 inches
This is the statement piece. At 20 inches tall, the batsman-in-action design dominates any trophy table. Use it for tournament championships, league winners, or lifetime achievement awards. The dynamic pose — a batsman mid-stroke — captures the sport in motion.
5. Globe Trophy — 15 inches
The globe-and-cricket design has international flair. The globe element makes it suitable for diaspora tournaments, international club competitions, or multi-national league events. 15 inches tall with a substantial presence.
6. Gold Cricket Medal with Ribbon
For individual awards where a full trophy is too much — "Best Bowler," "Most Improved Player," or runner-up recognition. The Raydn Gold Cricket Medal comes with a ribbon and features cricket bat-and-ball engraving.
Trophy Selection by Occasion
| Occasion | Recommended Trophy | Why |
|---|---|---|
| League MVP | Stumps/Bat/Ball (8.5") | Classic cricket design, universally understood |
| Junior League Award | Stars/Stump/Ball/Bat (7") | Smaller size suits younger players |
| Club Championship | Shield/Stump/Bat (8.5") | Formal shield design built for engraving |
| Tournament Winner | Player Batting (20") | Statement size — this is the big one |
| International/Diaspora Event | Globe Trophy (15") | Global design signals international scope |
| Individual Awards | Gold Medal | Affordable, personal, fits any category |
What Makes a Good Cricket Trophy?
Three things separate a memorable trophy from one that collects dust: relevance (the design should clearly read as cricket, not generic sport), presence (size matters — a 7-inch trophy on a presentation table looks different from a 20-inch one), and engravability (the base should have room for names, dates, and achievements).
Raydn's cricket-specific designs nail the relevance factor. A generic "star athlete" trophy from a party supply store tells no story. A trophy with stumps, a bat, and a ball tells the story of cricket.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get names engraved on these trophies?
Raydn trophies have wooden bases with space for engraving plates. We don't do engraving in-house, but any local trophy shop can add a nameplate. The base dimensions are standard — most engravers can work with them.
What's the difference between the 7-inch and 8.5-inch trophies?
The 8.5-inch models feel substantially larger on a presentation table. The 7-inch is good for individual match awards; the 8.5-inch is better for season-long achievements. Height difference is only 1.5 inches, but the visual presence at a ceremony is night and day.
Do you ship trophies safely within the US?
Yes. All trophies ship in protective packaging from our Edison, NJ warehouse. We ship across the continental US. Free shipping on orders over $100.
Are the trophy figurines made of metal or plastic?
Raydn trophies use gold-toned composite material with metal-like finish. They're not solid metal (those would be $200+), but they're not cheap plastic either. The finish holds up well — we've had club trophies in use for multiple seasons with no degradation.
Which trophy is best for a cricket league with 8 teams?
For an 8-team league, we recommend the Player Batting (20-inch) for the league champion and the 8.5-inch Stumps/Bat/Ball for the runner-up. Add gold medals for individual awards (best batsman, best bowler, MVP).
Can I return a trophy if it arrives damaged?
Yes. We offer 7-day returns. Inspect the trophy on arrival and contact us immediately if there's any shipping damage. We'll replace it at no cost.
