Playrite is the UK’s leading manufacturer of artificial cricket surfaces and has been for over 23 years. Surfaces that include woven, needlepunch and tufted, so we are able to offer a balanced view of the best choice.

Woven has been the cricketers’ surface of choice for the last 20 years and has been proven to stand the test of time. Woven wickets offer a professional and consistent standard of play whilst being one of the most durable products on the market. Woven is a specialist product to the cricket market.
Tufted is a relative newcomer, entering the market over the last few years, it offers a cost-effective solution for practice and junior play, but tests show it is not as hard-wearing as its woven counterpart. A tufted wicket is a generic mass-market product.
A needlepunch surface is an ideal solution if budget constraints mean that the best-woven surface is not an option. This offers a durable and cost-effective solution but does not carry the ECB accreditation.
So when it comes to picking the best, our woven surface has it all, offering a professional standard of play and the best long-term return on investment.
IT’S NO SURPRISE THAT PLAYRITE ARE THE ONLY WOVEN MANUFACTURER TO SUPPLY WICKETS

FOR THE MAJORITY OF ECB APPROVED SYSTEMS.
