Yes, coconut oil can be used for oiling a cricket bat, as it helps to nourish the wood and maintain its condition.

Oiling your cricket bat if its got a anti scuff sheet?

If your cricket bat has an anti-scuff sheet, you generally do not need to oil it, as the sheet provides protection against moisture and damage. However, it’s still important to periodically check the exposed areas of the bat for any signs of wear or drying. If the wood appears dry, you can lightly oil those areas, avoiding the anti-scuff sheet. Always use a light coat of bat oil and allow it to absorb fully before using the bat.


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

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.
