The bat
The BS Rapid 80 sits at the top of CA Sports' Babar Azam signature range, handcrafted from premium English willow with a hybrid power-curve profile — thick build, large edges and a high sweet spot for players who score square of the wicket and off the back foot as fluently as through the drive.
"The King's blade — power and control in the same pickup."
A three-piece cane handle with the BA 56 grip keeps it balanced through long innings, while Glass Protek protection on the face and toe plus 3D holographic stickers give it a premium, durable finish. It ships with a designer carry bag. As with all English willow, it needs knocking in before match use — add our prep service and we'll handle that for you.
At a glance
Every bat is individually weighed (in grams) and photographed before dispatch — grains, weight and minor marks vary naturally, so the bat in the selector is exactly the one you'll receive.
