OP is not talking about laminate bats at all

Yes, I tend to agree.
Please explain how a non-laminated bat (regular blade made with a single piece of willow) is de-laminated?

He already has,

Delamination is the partial seperation between the pressed layer of willow on the face and the wood underneath

There's also hundreds of threads on it around he forum!

The 'lowest' form of cricket I have seen bats being checked for their legality was during the U19 World Cup, and even then that was done more so to help transition the players into experiencing that type of scrutiny, rather than any serious attempts to find illegal bats. So I myself can't imagine there are any amateur competitions out there inspecting or enforcing bats laws.

In WCL 5/6 and European division 1/2 umpires have checked bats for width, etc. They didn't whoever seem to mind some of the horrific fake GM stickers one of our lads was rocking.

I think the term "Delamination" is confusion here, they should coin a new term to address this kind of layer
"Depressilation" may be?

I've never seen a laminated bat come unstuck, there shouldn't be any confusion.

The term 'delaminated' is well ingrained in the industry and has always referred to the separation of a layer of willow on the face from the rest of the bat, usually creating a hollow space between the two that causes a clapping sound when striking the ball.

In answer to the original post, yes it is possible for a new bat to delaminate, it can happen to a bat at any stage unfortunately.

Thank you for the valuable information.
Are such repaired bats allowed by ICC, since the repair may involve glueing two pieces of willow together ?
