Overview

Tape ball cricket has been played in parks, streets and backyards across South Asia for decades — and it’s growing fast across the UK, with clubs and communities adopting it as a proper format in its own right. The CA Swing tape tennis balls are made specifically for this — not a repurposed tennis ball, but a purpose-built cricket ball designed to be used with PVC tape and to perform properly when it is.

The light construction means they can go on any bat — coconut willow, fiber, or standard Kashmir — without the bat taking damage. They’re also solid training balls used without tape for indoor nets, garden sessions, and junior coaching. If you’re playing tape ball and want a ball that swings properly when wrapped, this is the one.
