Gray-Nicolls and Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) are proud to unveil a prestigious multi-year partnership, commencing in the summer of 2025. This landmark agreement sees Gray-Nicolls appointed as the Official and Exclusive Kit Supplier to one of cricket’s most iconic institutions.
As part of the partnership, Gray-Nicolls will supply playing and training apparel to MCC’s teams and its members, with the new kits debuting in the 2025 season. The collaboration also includes the development of a bespoke Lord’s branded collection – a celebration of cricket heritage and contemporary design – which will be available across all official Lord’s retail channels later this summer.
Gray-Nicolls is a globally recognised cricket brand with more than a century of heritage, renowned for crafting performance-led equipment and apparel of the highest quality. From village greens to international stadiums, Gray-Nicolls has long been synonymous with tradition, innovation, and excellence in the sport, having been making cricket bats in Robertsbridge for 150 years.
Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), custodian of the Laws of Cricket and owner of Lord’s – the Home of Cricket – is one of the most influential and respected cricket institutions in the world. With a rich history and a forward-looking commitment to the global game, MCC continues to shape the sport across all levels.
The partnership also extends to a supply agreement with the MCC Foundation, the charitable arm of MCC, which provides free coaching and cricketing opportunities to thousands of state-educated children each year. The Foundation has grown significantly in recent years, becoming a vital force in supporting the grassroots game across the UK and beyond.
Luke Gray, Head of Sales at Gray-Nicolls, commented: “It is an immense honour to partner with an institution as revered as MCC. Now in our 150th year making cricket bats at Robertsbridge, Gray-Nicolls has always stood for quality, heritage and a deep love of the game – values that align perfectly with those of the Club.
To be associated with Lord’s – the Home of Cricket – is a proud moment for our team, and we’re excited to see players and supporters wearing Gray-Nicolls across this historic ground and beyond. We're also especially proud to support the MCC Foundation, whose commitment to inclusivity and access resonates deeply with our own goals as a brand.”
Andy Muggleton, Commercial Director of MCC:
“We are delighted to welcome Gray-Nicolls as our new official kit supplier. Their commitment to quality and innovation, underpinned by a rich cricketing heritage, makes them a natural partner for MCC.
This agreement not only enhances our offering to players and members, but also supports the continued growth of the MCC Foundation – a cause that sits at the heart of our mission to work for the good of the game. We look forward to a long and successful partnership.”
Together, Gray-Nicolls and MCC are embarking on a shared journey to honour the past, elevate the present, and inspire the future of cricket.
Ends.
