Hi, ive got a brand new cricket bat that has been stored in my garage for four years. Is there anything that i can do to the bat to mantain its moisture? (The bat hasnt been knocked in or oiled)

Thanks

Don't oil it too much or it will be of little use to you. Out of interest, which bat is it?

Just oil it thoroughly and it should be fine

I put a lot of stuff in my gargage. This bat was a gift from my dad. But i didn't use it, so i just left it in the gargage.

You shouldn't over oil a bat. About a teaspoon per coat will be fine. I always put 3 coats on my bats and then leave overnight between each coat. Then start knocking it in.

oh ok just oil it every coulpe of weeks not to much and never oil it on the splice of the bat it will weaken it and thats bad.
