First thing you need is a pitch and two teams and you are off on a roll. However, you might want to also pick up the following if you want to make your pastime a more serious one.
Shoes: Comfort is key, as is a decent grip provided by the sole – either spiked shoes, pimpled rubbers soles or a combination of both.

Batting Pads: Save those shins from serious pain by investing in protective pads. They will need to fit comfortably to enable free and fast movement.

Bat: Bats come in all sizes and handle lengths – you just have to track down one that’s suitable for you. Try and opt for one which – when stood up right next to you – finds the top of its handle reaching the top of your thigh.

Ball: Made of leather and cork. The fielding side will often try to keep one side of the polished leather shiny and the other less so; making it fly through the air faster!

Gloves: Broken fingers are a common cricketing injury so invest in a pair for safety and protection.
