During the pandemic, we launched the B3 Coaching Hub to help players improve their game, even though lockdown. Partnering with top cricket coaches, we created over 100 free coaching videos covering every aspect of the game: batting, bowling, fielding, wicketkeeping, and fitness.

At B3, we’re not just passionate about making world-class cricket bats - we live and breathe the game. These videos are our way of giving back to the cricket community, providing players, coaches, and parents with valuable resources to develop their skills.

What’s New in 2025?
We’re expanding the B3 Coaching Hub with even more videos this year, so make sure to subscribe to our newsletter and YouTube channel to stay updated.
