But if a nerd question but will the India players who use sareen be able to use SS branded kit in the uk or Ton ??

Cheers in advance

I would imagine they'll use the branding from their home country as they are bringing their gear with them. Although I wouldn't have thought it would make a massive amount of difference, as it's pretty common knowledge that it's just different branding rather than different companies, isn't it?

My reading is the ruling applies to the distribution for sale of equipment within the EU. Any players sponsored by Sareen outside of Europe don't fall into this category.

I imagine there will be something somewhere to suggest it should be TON, but we all know the BCCI/Indian manufacturers/India in general will do as they wish.

Last summer Ravi bop was using some SS branded gloves, not only after the rebrand to TON, but also after the threatening letters landed on the doorsteps of us retailers.

So was Ravi thumbing his nose at the directive?

More likely a case of "these are my favourite gloves and I'm not changing them until they are knackered"

I think we can all see where he's coming from on that!

Would probably make better business sense branding them as TON while in England and going live into the households of kids looking for bats that their favourite pros are using.
