Description
The Shrey Star Junior 2.0 cricket helmet is a purpose-built junior-sized head protection gear for young players who need real match-grade construction at a budget-friendly price.

WHY CHOOSE THE SHREY STAR JUNIOR 2.0 CRICKET HELMET
Trusted Shrey Construction at Junior Sizing
Shrey is one of India’s most recognized cricket helmet brands, used by club players, school teams, and even international cricketers across the senior range. The Shrey Star Junior 2.0 cricket helmet brings that same construction philosophy down to junior sizing (50-54 cms) — making it a popular choice for young cricketers who want to step up from generic kids helmets to a proper Shrey-grade gear.
Built for Real Match Use, Not Just Practice
This junior cricket helmet is rated for real match-grade conditions, not just casual backyard play. The combined ABS shell, EVA foam, and mild steel visor delivers the impact absorption needed for school tournaments, inter-school matches, and academy net sessions where balls can come at serious pace from senior bowlers and bowling machines.
CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
Impact-Resistant ABS Outer Shell
The outer shell is built from high-grade ABS — the same impact-resistant plastic used across Shrey’s senior helmet range. ABS distributes contact force across the shell rather than concentrating it at one spot, which is exactly what you want from cricket head protection. The shell is also durable enough to handle daily kit-bag transport without cracking, scuffing, or losing structural shape.
EVA Foam Padding for Cushioning
The interior uses EVA foam padding — a soft, dense foam that absorbs ball contact while staying comfortable during long match innings. Unlike cheaper foam that flattens out within months, EVA holds its shape and cushioning across full cricket seasons. The padding sits flush against the inner shell so there are no pressure points on the temples or crown during long batting stints.
Adjustable Mild Steel Visor
The mild steel visor (M.S. visor) at the front protects the face and eyes from incoming balls. The visor is adjustable — you can move it closer to or further from the face to suit your line of sight and personal comfort. The grille design is wide enough for clear vision toward the bowler while the spacing keeps the ball out. Mild steel is the standard visor material across junior and club cricket helmets, offering reliable protection at an accessible price point compared to titanium visors.
COMFORT AND FIT FEATURES
Rear Retention System with Velcro Straps
The rear retention system uses velcro straps and round velcro pads to lock the helmet in place. Young cricketers’ heads vary widely in shape and size — the adjustable straps let you dial in a custom fit so the helmet doesn’t shift, slip, or rotate during sprints between wickets, fielding dives, or running shots. The fit stays secure even after multiple wear-and-remove cycles during long match sessions.
Lightweight 680g Design for Junior Heads
At approximately 680 grams, the Shrey Star Junior 2.0 cricket helmet is engineered to feel manageable for junior players whose neck strength is still developing. Heavier helmets cause neck discomfort during long innings or extended fielding sessions, which is why Shrey kept the Junior 2.0 weight low without cutting protection corners.
Traditional Shoulder-Cut Design
The shoulder-cut design at the base of the helmet allows full neck and shoulder movement during play. Young batsmen can rotate their head freely to track the ball, look back for runs, and execute pull/hook shots without the helmet pressing into their shoulders or restricting movement.
Extended Back for Neck Coverage
The extended rear of the helmet covers the back of the neck area — an important detail for junior players who are still developing technique and may turn their head during play. This added coverage protects the vulnerable rear-skull and upper neck area from balls deflected off the bat or wicketkeeper.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1. What size is this junior cricket helmet, and which age group does it fit?
Ans. The Shrey Star Junior 2.0 cricket helmet fits head sizes 50-54 cms, which typically suits boys and girls aged 8-13 years. Measure your child’s head circumference around the forehead area before ordering. If the head size exceeds 54 cms, the senior Shrey range would be a better fit.
Q2. Is this helmet suitable for leather-ball cricket or only soft-ball?
Ans. The Shrey Star Junior 2.0 cricket helmet is built for leather-ball cricket — including school matches, inter-school tournaments, and academy net sessions. The ABS shell, EVA foam, and steel visor combination delivers the protection level needed for proper season-ball cricket, not just tennis-ball or rubber-ball play.
Q3. What is the difference between mild steel visor and titanium visor?
Ans. Mild steel (M.S.) visor is the standard for junior and club cricket helmets — strong, durable, and budget-friendly. Titanium visors are lighter and more expensive, used in senior premium helmets for international and first-class cricketers. For junior cricket use, the mild steel visor delivers the right balance of protection and price.
Q4. How much does this helmet weigh, and is it comfortable for long matches?
Ans. The helmet weighs approximately 680 grams, which is intentionally kept low for junior players whose neck strength is still developing. The lightweight design, EVA foam padding, and rear velcro retention system together let young cricketers wear the helmet through full innings or fielding sessions without neck discomfort.
Q5. Can the steel visor be adjusted to fit different face shapes?
Ans. Yes, the adjustable steel visor can be moved closer to or further from the face using the side fittings. This lets you customize the visor distance for clear sight lines, comfortable wear, and proper face coverage. Adjusting the visor before first use is recommended for the best fit.
Q6. Is the inner padding washable for hygiene during summer cricket season?
Ans. The Shrey Star Junior 2.0 cricket helmet includes a removable and washable swoppa band that handles sweat absorption during play. The band can be detached, hand-washed with mild detergent, air-dried, and reattached. The 4 spare round velcro sets included also help maintain a fresh fit through long cricket seasons.
Q7. What colors are available for this Shrey junior helmet?
Ans. This listing is for the Black colorway. The Shrey Star Junior 2.0 is also available in Navy, Maroon, Royal Blue, Sky Blue, Green, Gold, and Red across other listings. Black is the most popular choice for school cricket teams and academies due to its versatile pairing with most uniform colors.
