Duncan Fearnley — A Living Cricket Heritage


From a small English workshop to the world stage, Duncan Fearnley has been trusted by legends and loved by players for more than six decades.

The Beginning. Founded in Worcester in the 1950s by professional cricketer Duncan Fearnley, the brand grew on a simple promise: hand-built bats with balance, power, and precision.

On the World Stage. Through the ’70s and ’80s, the bold DF mark became a fixture in Test arenas and World Cups as greats took guard with Fearnley in hand.

Innovation, Rooted in Craft. As the game evolved, so did the range—protective gear, gloves, and pads—always anchored in authenticity and workmanship.
