A big surprise if true ..
-
CA?
-
Looks like the money was too much to say no ….
-
Guessing an Indian brand then.
-
Unlikely due to the political situation … prob a home grown brand .. probably CA
I thought he would GN for longer than this tenure …
-
Hope it’s MRF
-
Unlikely to be an Indian brand, esp with current cricketing tensions re: holding Ind/PK matches at neutral venues.
Thought I saw social media say it was CA. Only other big brand likely to be MB Malik if home grown company.
-
Its CA
GN have posted about it just now that he’s gone …
CA is the right home as it’s prob the only Pakistani brand that can put up the money he wants …
MB don’t seem to hang on to anyone .. Ca needs a big name again
-
Yep, and it seems CA are bringing out a new line, the BA56 (nicked from GN?) in honour of their new signing.

odd, thats not even the current seasons GN softs is it? CA must be running a bit behind on their line of softs for him, have to think its in the pipeline

Really not liking the branding and design. Looks naff and a bit rushed, especially for your flagship player. Hopefully they will get some decent branding done as I like CA bats.

Never liked the branding of CA bats, bat will be made by his go-to batmaker (ahem, no change there then?😂) so it will just be the cosmetics that will be different.
-
I presume that will happen as why change a proven formula although CA can produce gun bats themselves …

Go to batmaker being Alex?

Not the best looking design…

Looks like any other CA bat really, just in-keeping with their usual branding. I'm not sure I see it as any real commercial loss to GN to be honest, wouldn't be a move I would've made even if I had the budget.

He's a lovely guy, it's been a good challenge working alongside him to get his bats how he wants.
Sad to see him leave, but that's what happens in this business. Not everyone is a one brand player, Babar is now up to 4, he's certainly not at Samit Patels levels of switching yet.....😁
-
Barbar once again demonstrating that age old truth, if you get a new bat you will score more runs.
(sorry Alex 😂)

He's clearly a lurker on here and has taken on the sound sentiments of CBF.

Thanks to Alex we already know he's fussy enough to have specific bat specs, he'd fit right in 😂

I think there is a strong chance at least one of his CA bats is one of mine it's probably very thin by now to get the edge branding out 🤣🤣🤣

Not surprised! He clearly knows what he wants specs-wise, and you've done a stellar job for him in recent years Alex - he prob picked up a large batch of willow prior to the big reveal! Then doing a woodworm job to keep the new bosses happy! :D - we should let him know that Kohli is all out of sandpaper though!

No one wants facts getting in the way of excuses for needing new kit.

Some of the other posts on that account are worth a look too.

Videos going around of Babar at the CA factory, doesn’t look overly enthusiastic with the bats. He also rocked up with one of his GN Ventus bats in tow.

He probably just brought it to copy , Might take a little while to get the bat he wants right, seemed like some guns in the video . CA bats are guns

Think its easier to use an existing bat as a reference point, so any tweaks are easier to explain.

PS Another video Pakistan Female International showing the CA factory start about 6:02. Its in urdu but really shows the scale of the CA factory. I never realised how big the CA factory is, I know MB Malik has multiple sites.

Manufacturing clothing, pads, gloves, tennis balls and even bat grips inhouse. Pretty impressive. Not many other brands in Pakistan come anywhere near.

Yes, i have been following her Youtube channel, she provided a good blog about CA factory. I do know Hindi, so listening to her was quite easy for me :D The brand is really impressive the way they are manufacturing all products is remarkable. ;)
