Description
Overview
Avaro Spring Return Stumps solve the most tedious part of a quick cricket session: putting the wicket back together. Each stump is spring loaded, so when a ball or bat knocks it flat it returns to upright on its own. The bowler collects the ball, the batter takes guard again and the game carries on.
The stumps sit on a cast iron base rather than being pushed into the ground, so they work on hard courts, gym floors and artificial turf as well as grass. The wood is described as extra strong to cope with repeated knocks. Browse the wider cricket range for balls and bats to go with them.
Key benefits

- Stands on any flat surface thanks to the cast iron base.
- Takes repeated hits with extra strong wood stumps.
- Designed in NZ as part of the Avaro range.
- Covered by the store's 12-month guarantee.
Who it's for
Best suited to PE classes, lunchtime and after-school cricket, and holiday programmes where a teacher is running several games at once and cannot police every wicket. The listing gives an age guide of six years and up, so it covers primary and intermediate players as well as adults playing socially.
If you want a traditional pitch-in wicket for club matches, look at the wooden stump options in stumps / wickets instead. These spring stumps are a training and recreational tool, not a match wicket.
Care, safety and set-up
Wipe the base dry after use on damp grass to keep the cast iron in good order, and store the set indoors between sessions. At around 4 kg it is a carry-by-hand item; place it on level ground so the springs return the stumps cleanly. Schools kitting out several classes can request a quote for quantity pricing.
Frequently asked questions
Are bails included?
No. The set is supplied without bails, so add a set of wooden bails to your order if you want to play with them.
Does it need to be pushed into the ground?
No. The stumps are fixed to a cast iron base and stand on the surface, which is why they work indoors and on hard courts.
What age is it for?
The listing gives an age guide of six years and up.
