About this bat

The CA Rustam is CA Sports' dedicated soft-ball cricket bat — built specifically for wind ball, tennis ball, tape ball, heavy tennis ball and incrediball formats. It is not designed for leather ball play. Crafted from Popular Willow (a separate species to English and Kashmir Willow), the Rustam is notably lighter than a standard cricket bat, which is exactly what these formats demand — fast swing, quick reaction and powerful hitting in more casual and street cricket settings.

The blade features thick edges and a well-defined sweet spot designed for the kind of aggressive, attacking play that tape ball and tournament cricket calls for. The full cane handle with three rubber layers delivers a secure, comfortable grip and absorbs the vibration that comes with playing without gloves — as is common in these formats. The triple-coloured grip completes a clean, distinctive look that matches the bat's purpose: standing out at the crease.

At £39.99 the Rustam is an accessible, no-nonsense option for anyone playing recreational or competitive soft-ball cricket. Ready to use straight out of the bag — no oiling, no knocking in, no preparation required. Just pick it up and play.

Frequently asked questions

No — the CA Rustam is made from Popular Willow and is designed exclusively for soft-ball formats: wind ball, tennis ball, tape ball, heavy tennis ball and incrediball. It is not suitable for use with a hard leather ball. If you need a bat for leather ball cricket, have a look at our Kashmir Willow and English Willow ranges above.
Popular Willow (also known as Poplar) is a distinct wood species — different from both English Willow and Kashmir Willow used in leather ball cricket bats. It is lighter than both, which makes it ideal for tape ball and tennis ball play where a quick swing and fast pickup matter more than the durability needed for leather ball impacts. It is specifically chosen for this style of bat.
No — the CA Rustam requires no preparation at all. Unlike English or Kashmir Willow bats used with leather balls, there is no need to oil or knock in a Popular Willow soft-ball bat. Just take it out of the bag and play.
