The newly launched BA56 bat by CA Sports, made exclusively for Pakistan’s batting maestro Babar Azam, has sold out completely within hours of its release. Babar is set to debut his new CA Sports kit during the second Test against South Africa.
Babar Azam’s New Partnership with CA Sports
This partnership marks a significant change for Babar Azam, who officially ended his long-standing relationship with Gray-Nicolls, the English cricket brand. CA Sports, a well-known name in Pakistan’s cricketing circles, is famous for producing high-quality cricket gear and has been trusted by numerous professional cricketers worldwide.
The partnership is being widely regarded as a mutually beneficial alliance, with Babar’s global stature expected to boost CA Sports’ international brand recognition.

End of an Era with Gray-Nicolls
Babar’s decision to part ways with Gray-Nicolls signifies the end of an era, as the English brand had been part of his career for the past three years. During this time, Babar achieved several major milestones, including:
- Becoming the fastest player to 5,000 ODI runs.
- Leading Pakistan to the T20 World Cup final in 2022.
His performances with Gray-Nicolls bats not only solidified his legacy but also enhanced the brand’s reputation in the cricketing world.
While the exact reasons for the switch remain unclear, some speculate that Babar’s recent struggles with the bat may have influenced his decision, as athletes often change equipment to break slumps or gain a psychological edge.
