I have confirmed with Kunal Bhai and there will be new MS Dhoni range

[Torque]

They would want to start selling more bats to keep going

Want, or need to?

Dude just retweeted something about dhoni being a spartan brand ambassador

Do they plan to make a range for every player they sign, Clarke, Gayle, Prior, Dhoni.....?

Got to be easier than coming up with a new name for every bat

Exciting times for Spartan...they now have some of the worlds best players on their team and across the various continents, so its a smart marketing move.

Has to be a pricey acquisition for spartan, they must be spending some serious money on him, Gayle and Clarke

[mo_town]

Wow!!! Thats a big move for Spartan signing Dhoni! That is sure to create a Boom! The ones Dhoni is carrying look like the MC range to me..

yes agree with that but problem will be for retailers, to stock every range

Absolutely right, and therefore from my perspective its probably best not to stock the range at all.

I don't want to stock 5 different ranges based on a variety of players, which then have different grades in each one. We could end up with 20 different bats and an assortment of 40 different pads and gloves.

Seriously I don't feel a range should ever be based on a player. Last year Gray Nicolls had the Strauss edition bats only for him to surprise even them and announce his retirement...

We stock the Matt Prior and Chris Gayle ranges, with a little bit of Michael Clarke.

Unless the Dhoni bats are an exceptional shape i doubt we will stock much of it.

Another big pick up by Spartan. So they now have Dhoni, Clarke,  Prior, Gayle, Viv, and Mitchell Johnson?

That's a lot of different models. Of them all I like the Viv range.

Any idea on the timescale when the Dhoni range will appear?

...plus Darren Bravo with his pink Spartan gear and rumour on the forum is De Villiers as well.

I like that players get their own range, but I accept it's a nightmare for sellers

Don't forget Marcus North...
