Best way to buy CA (or other pakistani bats) from London?

[*sallu*]

Hey everyone. Hoping for some help with buying a bat for next season.

I really want to buy a quality Pakistani cricket bat. So far my sight is set on the CA range.

Can anyone advise the best way to get CA bats from London? Also, any other advise on which CA stick to go for would be valuable input. If there are other Pakistani bats you recommend feel free to give a shout.

As an fyi, I bat in the middle order, use a weight of around 2.8 and am ideally looking for a light pickup with a decent punch for the weight. Durability (for Pakistani bat standards) would also be great.

I have used their enquiry page on the website twice with no response. Not sure they are interested in selling to individuals.

Hey bud! Urm as for CA bats in london they are hard to locate because not a lot of people sell Pak mad bats. i believe its just cricket sells CA bat they do come at a cost but they have a fantastic youtube channel, which basically lays out all the ca specs of every range.

I own a ca my ca plus 15k still going strong, best bat iv ever had.

Pros
Goes like a gun from ball 1
Pick up is good
Lower middle helps me come forward more

Cons
Spents hours and hours knocking in still gets cracks (iv knocked bats in before so i can't say my knocking in technique is too bad)
A little too much concaving if i am nit picking.

Also a guy in yorkshire with the youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGNvGHYa-tfzfVyUr5RWFhw sells all oak bats at top prices i know its not the same as picking them up.

Few other stores come to mind would be the MB malik store in Slough and Uzie sports (outside of london) as the comments up top ^^^ are the only genuine stores i can think at the moment.

As for CA range in general i dont think they change a lot in terms of shapes and edges its really the same bat with different stickers and quality of willow. Although newer rangers have less concaving etc. Hope that helps pal! write up if you got any more questions!

Thanks a lot for your help.

One other option is getting it sent over from Pakistan (Islamabad).

I know people have been warning to be careful of fake bats, etc. so would you, or anyone else for that matter know where in Pindi/Islamabad you can get the genuine stuff?

I have watched lots of youtube reviews from eclipse all sports and they seem to stock some excellent pakistani bats including CA,HS, and Ihsan they have even managed to stock some pro grade bats with special shapes and profiles. Definitely worth a look. I have listed a couple of youtube reviews below.

They also have a competition where you can win a £350 cricket bat by simply subscribing to there youtube channel. I for one am hoping to be the winner of this. It is a beautiful bat limited to only 25 per year. I have listed the youtube link below.

I have contacted them a few times regarding bats and I have found them to be very helpful and quick to respond to my queries. I will hopefully be listing pictures of my 2015 bat which I will be purchasing from them shortly.

I hope this helps.
