SS Premium Silver Kashmir Willow Cricket Bat
~ Premium air-dried Kashmir willow with a modern concave profile, built for hard-ball club cricket.
The SS Premium Silver sits in Sunridges' premium Kashmir willow line, one step below the Premium Gold. It is aimed at club and league batters who want a properly pressed hard-ball blade with a wide middle and a clean face, at a price that leaves room in the kit bag budget for pads and gloves.
SS (Sunridges) has been making bats in Meerut, India since 1969 and supplies international players across the Test and franchise game. The Premium range is where their volume manufacturing and quality control show up most clearly.
Why Players Choose the Premium Silver
Air-dried premium Kashmir willow
Slow air-drying hardens the fibre before pressing, so the face resists denting and the blade holds its shape across a full season rather than a handful of matches.
Concave edge profile
Wood is taken out of the spine and pushed into the hitting zone, giving a wide, forgiving middle without turning the bat into a club.
Full adult short handle
The standard adult Short Handle fits players roughly 5'6" to 6'2", and pairs with a tacky, ribbed grip for control in humid conditions.

Size Guide: How to choose the perfect sized bat for you
FAQ Section
Q1: Is the Premium Silver a hard-ball bat? Yes. It is pressed and shaped for standard leather cricket balls on turf or matting. It is not a tennis-ball bat.
Q2: How does it compare to the SS Premium Gold? Both are premium Kashmir willow. The Gold sits one tier above on willow selection and finish; the Silver gives you the same profile and build at a lower price.
Q3: Does it arrive knocked in? No. It is factory-pressed, which is a starting point rather than a finish. Knock the edges and toe in with a mallet over several sessions and apply a light coat of raw linseed oil before match use.
Q4: Why choose Kashmir willow over English willow? Kashmir willow is denser and harder, so it needs less knocking in and takes more punishment, but it gives away some ping and rebound. For club cricket and heavy net use it is the more economical choice.
Q5: What handle size is this? Short Handle, the standard adult size, suited to players roughly 5'6" to 6'2" tall.
Q6: Is a bat cover included? Yes, every Premium Silver ships with an SS bat cover.
