England U19's are wearing them Vic, can't be long now.

I would agree with Vic in the sense that most of the people who play cricket will continue to follow the crowd of what is being used most in numbers. I think it all depends on if they become available and if international sides are wearing them mainly, as side mainly wear Masuri's currently. If teams use the new Masuri helmets then I'd be surprised if the playing public don't stay with "Masuri".

Supposedly legal matters have begun between masuri and shrey over the helmet design...

I'll take a shrey if it's like 2013's masuri, new ones are ugly and I'm really not sure the 'extra' protection is worth it tbh. Maybe for a pro but not for amateurs.

Don't buy the 2 bar version they have a single bar version as well that looks like their 2013 version

Speaking to Brendan Nash yesterday , he said kent ccc have a deal with masuri the rep come down to see them , but he said new masuri is horrible ,and will carry on wearing the standard masuri/shrey profile on the future , think he said no one on the staff have ordered one !

Jon Hardy was at my golf club today for a match. I wasn't paired up against him this time.

I have to admit I am not sure I would have raised the subject with him!

on the plus side Min Patel is a thoroughly good bloke and a decent golfer!

So where can I buy a masuri/shrey 2013 type model then? Don't want the new ones as it's ugly and the adi thing isn't really my scene (sorry Tom )

I'd like to know as well. I emailed shrey direct via Facebook and email and they never got back to me. New masuri looks hideous

[Twelfth Man]

Currently looking for a Shrey lid as well. Only thing I found whilst searching was a list of the different selection of Shrey helmets - just the same as Masuri's ranges.

If you want hats have then buy a. Masuri. Shops have loads of the old style still to shift. Contact vitas, ijc or anyone to get one, simples.




This argument, weather Vic is correct or the others just keeps going round and round in circles. All that can be said has been,
Revisit in a year, if shrey are in the market cool. If not, then so be it.


Either way, life will continue, and people will play cricket.

I don't have any left, haven't since November.

Been waiting for stock of the new design from masuri ever since it was announced. It was originally scheduled for a pre Christmas arrival to retailers. Last update was that they were due in last week....

In their current form (admittedly I haven't seen one, but rob sayer who we know well was given one at the u19 World Cup and said it was identical to a masuri) we won't be stocking Shrey as they won't pass a BSI test. I know there is plenty of rhetoric out there about Shrey lids passing the tests, but if that is the case then there would no need for such a drastic redesign from masuri.

It's an incredibly grey area with a lot of misinformation and lack of input/updates from the people making the decisions, but it will all come out in the wash over the next few months.

In my opinion, the helmets don't look as bad in person as they do on the pictures. That being said, the twin bar grille is weird on your eyes, and rather distracting.
As I mentioned Masuri have started legal proceedings with shrey so more information will be available soon.

Do you have a link to any details of this mate?

As an obviously concerned party, I would quite like to have a read. My knowledge of this is that attempting to pursue a company in India is impossible. Surridge spent 7+ years trying to do so with Sareen before giving up and going after us retailers who stocked them.

Will be a similar story with any retailer stocking Shrey I imagine, ie we will be the easy targets. Though I had been led to believe that Masuri have no protection on that design.

We have the classic Masuri models in both the Elite and Test versions in Navy, Green and Maroon.
