Gunn & Moore Diamond 808 Cricket Bat (2026)

Full Description

GM Diamond 808 L555 Cricket Bat

As used by Ben Stokes

‘Crafted for the uncompromising’

Ben Stokes doesn’t compromise – on performance, on leadership, on intensity. Neither does the Diamond. Every grain, every edge, every ounce is precision-crafted for players who demand more from themselves and their gear.

Made in conjunction with England captain Ben Stokes, the 2026 version features a refreshed livery still majoring on the England skipper’s unique tattoo design.

Returning to the traditional L555 blade length for 2026, the Diamond boasts a balanced, mid swell position, a flowing contoured spine and a well-rounded bat profile, ideal for all-round stroke-makers.

The Diamond also features a new Halo grip, as used by Ben Stokes himself ensuring perfect grip at all times.
Creating further history in the summer of 2025, including becoming the first Englishman to complete the 7,000 runs/200 wicket double in Test cricket, joining South Africa’s Jacques Kallis and West Indies’ Sir Garfield Sobers, Stokes will wield the fresh design Down Under during the 2025/26 Ashes series.
