Hi,

I was wondering if you are allowed to swap bats after a game?

Thanks for all your help.

Hi Anthony,

You are not allowed to change your bat during a match unless it is accidentally damaged so badly that it cannot be used. In fact take a read of our blog titled Don't change your bat during a match.
