About this bat

The CA BA 56 Signature Edition is the pinnacle of the BA 56 range — one grade above the King's Edition and genuinely rare. Each bat in this edition has been physically signed by Babar Azam himself, making it as much a collector's piece as a performance bat. If you're a serious Babar fan or a collector of signed cricket memorabilia, this is the item — there are only a handful of these available.

As a performance bat it sits at the very top of the BA 56 lineup. The willow is top-grade English willow, each blade individually inspected and hand-selected to meet the standard befitting a signed item — only blades with excellent grain structure, clean face, and proper weight distribution are used in this edition. The profile follows the BA 56 specification: thick edges, a high sweet spot, and excellent balance through the handle.

Each bat ships in a CA BA 56 leather bat bag with a certificate of authenticity. The signature is applied by Babar Azam directly and is not printed or facsimile. Knocking in is required before match use — if our bat preparation service is enabled we complete this fully before dispatch, preserving the signature throughout. WhatsApp Yaseer before ordering if you have any questions about the specific bat available.

Frequently asked questions

The signature is genuine — applied by Babar Azam in person. It is not printed, stamped, or facsimile. Each bat comes with a certificate of authenticity. WhatsApp Yaseer if you'd like more information about the signing process or provenance.
The Signature Edition sits one grade above the King's Edition in the BA 56 range — it uses higher-grade willow, with each blade individually hand-selected. The defining difference is the genuine Babar Azam signature applied in person, making it the rarest and most collectible item in the BA 56 lineup. The King's Edition is a performance bat; the Signature Edition is that and a collector's piece.
Each bat in the Signature Edition is an individual item — hand-selected, individually signed, and listed separately. Bat 1 and Bat 2 represent the specific individual bats currently in stock. WhatsApp us before ordering if you want images or details of a specific bat's weight, grain, or appearance.
The signature is on the face of the bat. If our bat preparation service is enabled, we take care when machine-knocking and fitting the scuff sheet to preserve the signature. If you prefer to knock it in yourself, or want to keep it purely as a display piece, that's entirely valid. WhatsApp us before ordering and we'll discuss the best approach for you.
