Sat Sri Akal everyone, Sukhichain here! When customers visit our Noida factory, they often ask me to just "make a good cricket jersey." But as the factory master, I always tell them: the design brings the looks, but the fabric brings the performance.
I've stitched thousands of cricket kits in my life. Trust me, picking the wrong material for an Indian summer match is a disaster. Here is my honest breakdown of the best fabrics you should choose for your custom cricket dress.
If you're playing serious cricket, 100% Micro-Polyester is the only way to go. We often call it Dri-Fit. Why? Because it literally drives the sweat away from your body. When you sweat, the micro-fibers pull the moisture to the surface where it evaporates fast. Your players stay dry, the jersey stays light, and nobody feels suffocated.
Have you ever seen a fast bowler tear his shirt while delivering a ball? I have! Cricket involves sudden, explosive movements. That's why for our premium "Player Edition" kits, we blend 5% to 8% Spandex (Elastane) into the polyester. This gives the fabric a 4-way stretch. It hugs the body but stretches effortlessly when you dive for a catch.
Here's a factory secret: the best jerseys aren't made of just one fabric. For top-tier orders, we stitch a solid Dri-Fit fabric on the front, but we use a breathable Jacquard Mesh fabric for the back panel and under the arms. This acts like an exhaust system, letting the hot air out. It costs slightly more to manufacture because we have to cut two different fabric rolls, but the comfort is worth it.
Never, ever use heavy cotton for a cricket match jersey. It absorbs sweat like a sponge, becomes incredibly heavy, and takes forever to dry. Stick to synthetic performance fabrics.
Want to feel the fabric before you commit? We are a factory, not just middlemen. Contact us, and we'll gladly share fabric samples or guide you on the best material for your specific budget and tournament.

Screen printing pushes ink through a mesh stencil onto the fabric surface. It works well for simple designs with flat colours — logos, text, basic graphics. Each colour requires a separate screen, so complex designs get expensive fast.
For sports jerseys, cricket kits and sports uniforms — always choose sublimation. Full-colour team designs, player names and numbers, gradients — all handled in one process at one price.
Screen printing makes sense only for very simple logos on cotton T-shirts — for example, a one-colour logo on plain cotton event T-shirts where cost is the only priority.
At Gyana Garments, all our jerseys use sublimation printing — that's why our colours stay vivid match after match, wash after wash.
