Why Ciel Cricket Leather Balls
Built Different — 4 Reasons Players Choose Ciel Cricket Leather Balls
Alum-Tanned Premium Leather
Alum tanning produces a firmer, more durable hide than chrome tanning — maintaining shape, seam integrity, and cricket ball weight consistency under repeated impact for a full match.
Hand-Stitched Seam
Every Ciel cricket leather ball is hand-stitched in Meerut. The seam is more pronounced and durable than machine-stitched alternatives — giving bowlers better grip and swing for longer overs.
ICC-Compliant Ball Weight
All three Ciel cricket leather balls are manufactured to the ICC-standard cricket ball weight of 155–163 grams. Every ball is quality-checked during production to ensure weight compliance.
Factory Direct — No Markup
Manufactured in Meerut and shipped directly to you. No distributor margin — meaning you get professional-grade cricket leather balls at factory prices your team can actually afford.

What Players Are Saying About Our Cricket Leather Balls
"Dominator balls lasted the full 50 overs in our league match and still had good seam and shine. Ordered three sets — the consistency across all 18 balls is impressive. Will not buy any other brand."
"Thunder balls are excellent value for club practice. Good seam, consistent bounce, and they lasted 40+ overs exactly as described. Ordered from the UK — arrived in a week."
"Bought the Strike balls for our T20 tournament — white balls under lights. Visibility was great, the seam held throughout, and the bounce was consistent every over. Very impressed."
"Our academy orders Dominator balls every season. The alum-tanned leather makes a noticeable difference — they retain shape much longer than the generic balls we used before."
"Shipped three sets of Thunder balls to Australia for our Indian cricket club. All 18 balls were uniform in weight and feel. WhatsApp support was excellent throughout. Highly recommended."
"The Dominator pink ball for our day-night match was exceptional. Visibility was perfect under lights and the seam stayed prominent deep into the second innings. Best leather ball we have used."

What is a cricket leather ball made of?
A cricket leather ball is constructed from three primary materials: a cork core at the centre, tightly wound string wrapped around the cork for shape and density, and a four-piece alum-tanned leather outer cover stitched together with six rows of nylon thread to form the raised seam.
At Ciel Sports, our cricket leather balls use alum-tanned cowhide leather — which is firmer and more durable than chrome-tanned leather — giving the ball better seam retention, more consistent bounce, and longer shape integrity over 40–50+ overs of match play. -

To extend the life of your Ciel cricket leather balls: keep them dry and store in a cool dry place after every use; regularly apply ball wax or polish to maintain shine; avoid excessive water exposure which can soften the leather and affect cricket ball weight consistency; use a clean cloth to wipe down after play. Never leave cricket leather balls in direct sunlight as this can crack the leather.
