Basic dimensions

  • The length of a cricket pitch is 22 yards (66 feet / 20.12 metres).

Does it ever change?

  • In almost all professional and most recreational cricket, this length stays the same across all formats (Tests, ODIs, T20s).
  • Junior cricket can use shorter pitches, such as 16-yard or 18-yard strips, depending on age-group regulations.
