The Duke's Cadet cricket ball is a high-quality, 4-piece leather ball hand-stitched for match play. Weighing 4 and 3/4 ounces, it is suitable for outdoor cricket on a suitable playing surface. As it is a smaller ball, it is designed for use by aspiring junior cricketers who are striving to become as good as that can with a smaller version of the premier balls used by the professionals.
