Does it matter if you knock in your cricket bat before you oil it?

Answer 1

Yes, it is called seasoning. All players season their new cricket bats before they use it in a match. If you use a new bat in a match without proper seasoning, it may not perform as well as it can and most importantly it can end up broken.

Answer 2

Nope, not really but it better to oil first. I had a pre- knocked in bat so i knocked it in more then, i oiled the bat.
