The origin of Dukes cricket ball was in the year 1760 when the production began in Tonbridge. From then on they have been the leading cricket ball manufacturers in England.

They are completely handmade and the quality is excellent. From test matches to T20s held in England, these balls are used. They are provided with a layer of lacquer making it look darker than the other two.

The bowlers obtain a lot of movement with the ball, especially in England conditions and the wear is less when compared to Kookaburra. The batsmen are tested for a prolonged period of time as the shine is not lost so early as compared to Kookaburra or SG cricket balls.
