Here’s the latest headline in the cricketing world: Grip Active is now ICC-approved cricket gear. Yes, it’s official, stamped, and sealed by the governing body of international cricket. The news has been met with everything from excitement to scepticism. It’s understandable - an ICC approval doesn’t necessarily mean an automatic climb up the leaderboard for every player or team. Which is great, unless you think an ICC stamp will fix your actual grip on the bat.
But, of course, there’s a catch. It’s not all doom and gloom. The truth is somewhere in between the glossy press releases and the all-too-perfect social media posts. You see, just because the ICC has approved the brand doesn’t mean you’ll magically start hitting sixes from the first ball. It doesn’t guarantee that you’ll have flawless technique or that your opponent will drop their game and give you an easy win.
Sorry to burst the bubble, but Grip Active, while undoubtedly fantastic in the world of cricket gear and other activewear, is not going to make you a legend overnight. Still, it can certainly give you a better grip on success.
What Does ICC Approval Mean for Grip Active?
Let’s start with the obvious question. What does it mean when a brand gets ICC approval?
-
ICC and Cricket Gear Standards
The ICC (International Cricket Council) is the global governing body of cricket. It’s the organization that determines the standards for what can and can’t be used in professional cricket. So, when a brand like Grip Active receives ICC approval, it signifies that the brand’s cricket gear meets the rigorous standards that are set for professional matches. This is a big deal in the world of cricket equipment.
-
ICC Approval Doesn’t Equal Exclusivity
Now, let’s be clear: ICC approval doesn’t mean that Grip Active has become the official supplier of all cricket gear on the planet. It just means that the products - whether it's the White Match Kit, T20 cricket kit, or even those practical Player Bags and the ever-popular Large Kit Bag - are officially deemed fit for use in professional matches. So, yes, players can confidently wear a Grip Active Jersey or cricket trousers, knowing they meet the highest standards for performance and comfort. It’s not magic; it’s just good engineering and smart design.

Why Are We Talking About ICC Approval?
Let’s pause here for a moment. Why are we even talking about ICC approval? Because it’s a marketing goldmine. Every cricket club, professional or amateur, will immediately link ICC approval to an assumption that it’s a guarantee of victory. Let’s not kid ourselves; we’ve all seen the ads: "Wear Grip Active, win big." But just like that motivational meme plastered on the wall of a gym, that’s easier said than done.

The Importance of Quality Gear
Sure, wearing the best cricket equipment matters. No one wants to be playing with a pair of cricket trousers that are either too tight or too baggy, right? (Not to mention, no one wants to wear a jersey that sticks to them like a second skin when the weather turns warm.) The White Jersey from Grip Active? Flawless fit. The T20 Jersey? Feels like you’re playing in an ultra-breathable cloud of comfort. But these are just the basics - the tools that give you the right feel and functionality to perform your best.
But here’s the catch: gear is just one part of the equation. You could be wearing the best cricket equipment - think Tracksuits to warm up or a Padded Jacket for those chilly morning matches - but if you’re not putting in the hours at practice, working on your bowling technique or improving your batting stance, no jersey in the world is going to get you that elusive century.
The same goes for those who think upgrading their T20 cricket kit will suddenly elevate their performance. Sure, the Player Bag looks snazzy, but it’s not going to fix your batting average. Having the right sports gear for cricketers, whether you’re practising with the Test Ball or just perfecting your swing, is crucial, but they won’t bowl themselves. If only cricket were that easy!
ICC Approval and Gear? Awesome. But Skill is Still the Decider
-
The Hype is Real, but Don’t Expect Miracles
The hype around ICC approval is real, and there's no denying that Grip Active’s gear offers some of the best cricket equipment in the market. But, the reality check comes when players believe that this approval will somehow eliminate the need for hard work. And that’s where things get tricky.
-
Gear Can’t Replace Skill and Practice
What ICC approval guarantees is that your sportswear for cricketers meets the highest standards for durability, comfort, and performance - whether you’re batting in the T20 Jersey, fielding in the Sleeveless Jumper, or storming the pitch in the Tracksuit before a match.
But let’s be real for a second. Without actually knowing how to play the game and mastering its ins and outs, you’ll look good while failing miserably at the basics. And hey, no one’s impressed by that, right? A Backpack from Grip Active might look great as you’re walking to your next match, but it won’t help you execute a perfect cover drive. And trust us, no one will care about your Crew Socks if you can’t land a Yorker when it counts.
Will Grip Active Improve Your Performance? You Better Believe It
Let’s get one thing straight: talent, practice, and strategy will always be the driving forces behind success on the field. A Rainshell Jacket might save you from getting soaked during a drizzle, but it’s not going to help you score 50 runs off 30 balls. The real key to winning remains in your mind, your physical ability, and how well you’ve honed your cricket skills - not the gear you’re wearing.
That said, good quality cricket gear can absolutely boost your performance. Gear that’s engineered for the sport - like the Umpire Jersey that offers flexibility for those long innings or the Padded Jacket that keeps you warm during those cold winter practices - does make a difference. Comfort and functionality matter, especially when you’re playing for hours on end. You don’t want to be constantly tugging at your T20 Trouser or feeling like your Jumper is restricting your movement. Good gear gives you confidence. But it’s up to you to use that confidence effectively on the field.
It’s Not Just About Gear – But Gear Can Give You an Advantage

Winning Starts in Your Head, Not in Your Kit Bag
Winning a game isn’t about buying the best cricket equipment or picking out the right Bobble Hat - although, to be fair, the latter will keep your ears warm in cold weather, but it isn’t going to help you hit a century. What really matters is the skill you bring to the game.
So, yeah... You can buy the best gear money can get, but if you think that’s going to magically make you a cricket superstar, we’ve got some bad news. It's the work behind the scenes, the hours of practice, the mental toughness to push through failure, and that relentless drive to do better - that is what will take you from 'That guy’s got potential' to 'That guy just smashed a century'. The Grip Active products you use will support you, but they won’t replace the fundamentals of good cricket.

Example: Gear Alone Won’t Make You a Superstar
A player can wear the finest White Trousers from Grip Active and feel like a million bucks, but if they haven’t practised their batting technique, that’s just a pricey pair of pants with no effect on their game. Similarly, even the coolest Player Cap won’t make a difference if your bowling mechanics are off.
So, while a good pair of Crew Socks might keep your feet comfortable during a long day on the field, it’s your hours spent perfecting your bowling, batting, or fielding that will really determine the outcome of the game. Gear can help you perform at your best, but you can’t rely on it to get you the win. You have to put in the work.
Why Grip Active Is Still the #1 Upgrade for Serious Cricketers
Now, don’t get it twisted. While winning doesn’t come guaranteed just by wearing ICC-approved gear, that doesn’t mean Grip Active isn’t a big help. In fact, it’s the opposite. The attention to detail in each product - whether it’s the Long-Padded Jacket to keep you warm on chilly days, the Gilet for light layering, or the Large Kit Bag to keep your gear organized - gives players an edge. Good gear means you don’t have to think about anything but your next move.
This is why we take pride in offering products that cater to the practical needs of cricketers at every level. From the Midlayer for added warmth during those morning practices to the Bucket Hat for sun protection, our gear is designed to be functional, comfortable, and tailored to cricket’s unique demands. But even with all that, the real victory comes from the hours spent on the field, improving technique and building muscle memory.
Wear the Best, Play Your Best – ICC Approval Doesn’t Make You a Superstar, You Do!
In the end, ICC approval for Grip Active is a big deal. It says that our products have met a high standard of quality. But don’t expect it to magically make you a cricket superstar. The real trick to making it? Spend time getting better, stay determined, and always show up ready to give it your best. Gear can support you, but it’s not the end-all-be-all.
So, wear your Grip Active gear with pride, know that you’ve got the best quality sportswear for cricketers that’s been tested and approved for the highest levels of competition, and get ready to perform at your best. But remember, the real game-changer will always be you - your mindset, your commitment, and your love for the sport. The ICC approval is the sweet topping after a lot of grit, grind, and love for the game.
Now, go grab that Player Bag, slip into your T20 Match Kit, and get out there to play the game you love. The victory might not be guaranteed, but at least you’ll look good doing it.
