Sovereign cricket is run by a South-African guy called Norman Haylett-Petty through his store called Cricket Direct near Perth, Western Australia. There's no website as far as I know.

I think all of the Sovereign bats are imported from India, but I'll stand corrected on this. A few years back Sovereign was known as Cavalier and at that time some of their bats were handmade in Australia.

Also, ex South African cricketer Mike Rindell was/ is involved with the company. See a news article from about these guys from a few years ago at

Good to get some info on them! This bat has "Handmade in Western Australia" On the toe so would think it is made here..
