Been watching the West Indies against New Zealand and saw them all wearing Shrey helmets. They look identical to both Slazenger and Masuri, just a different logo on the back. Also the South Africans were wearing pink ones last night.
Not that I know much about Masuri and Slazenger as I wear an Albion, but are these Shrey helmets just copies?

I was going to post about this last week but forgot! I was flicking through the photos on Cricinfo and Abhinav Mukund's helmet confused me. Thought it was a fake at first!

think they make the masuri lids

Makes sense as they look identical. I wonder if the Indian helmet market is like the bat one. Factories making equipment which is later re-branded. So Masuris and Slazengers I assume are made by these people who have now decided to basically just brand them with their own logo.

When We visited bas vampire 4 years ago pusph kohil a son of the owners , told us his cousin in Jalandhar made the masuri lids .Not sure masuri will be 2 happy with this is there design not copyrighted? Also  don't masuri or Albion do sign each country up as there official suppliers?

Is anybody selling these already , or is it a one off thing ?

Graham Smith is wearing one today.

They must have got jack of English arseholes claiming on their website that the helmet made in Jalandhar was "British Made".

I don't blame them.

Masuri have recently changed to UK production. The grilles are made over the road from me.

OMG I want one!

So what I think might be the case is that Masuri have moved production to the UK which means no more need for the company in Punjab that have been producing them. So that Punjab company which has everything set up, simply keeps making them and instead brand them as their own.
Not that it concerns me at all as I wouldn't use anything other than my trusty Albion.

If that be the case  I hope they have something in the pipeline for when the new regs come out,

The new regulations (TomTek can correct me if i am wrong) Only apply in the UK and Aus/NZ i believe.

From the info we have been told the New regs will become applicable to all ICC competitions played globally.

What i suspect maybe the case is that Shrey will continue to make the model that has been discontinued by Masuri as they wont pass the new BSI standard....dont quote me on this as its only my best guess.
