Key features
- Pre-knocked face reduces the preparation you need before first use, making it easier to take the bat straight into nets or match practice.
- Grade 3 English willow offers a sensible balance of performance and price for players who want a proper leather-ball bat without moving to a premium-grade budget.
- Cane handle with rubber grip supports a stable hold and a familiar response through the shot, especially when playing with a firm top hand.
- Approx. 1150–1250 g weight range gives you room to choose between a quicker pickup or a fuller, more substantial feel in the hands.
- Available in Harrow, SH, and LH, so you can choose the size that matches your height and the way you stand at the crease.
- Built for leather-ball cricket, making it suitable for hard-ball practice, club cricket, and regular outdoor sessions.
Which size should I choose?
Choose Harrow if you are a younger senior player or prefer a shorter, lighter bat that feels easy to control. Short Handle (SH) is the standard senior size for most adult cricketers and will suit the majority of players. Long Handle (LH) is better for taller batters or anyone who wants a little more reach and a fuller handle length. In this weight band, the lower end will feel quicker in pickup, while the upper end will feel stronger through impact.
About the willow grade
Grade 3 English willow usually has fewer clean-looking grains than higher grades, but it still delivers the playing qualities most club and regular-match cricketers need. It is a practical choice when you want a proper English willow cricket bat and prefer to keep the price at a more accessible level. In simple terms, you are getting performance that makes sense for everyday cricket, not showroom perfection.
Every bat is handcrafted by CBP, with free shipping across India and dispatch in 1–2 business days. The Saber Spark G3 also comes with a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects.

Choosing your profile
Every CBP bat comes in five profiles. The profile sets where the spine sits and how the weight is distributed down the blade, which decides where the middle falls and how heavy the bat feels when you lift it. Two bats of the same listed weight can feel completely different because of it.
| Profile |
Middle position |
Edge |
Spine |
Feel |
| VK (duck-bill) |
Mid to mid/low |
36-40 mm |
60-64 mm |
Lighter pick-up than its dead weight suggests. The profile most of our pros ask for. |
| HLS (high long spine) |
Mid |
36-40 mm |
60-64 mm |
Lighter balance with minimal concaving. |
| CBP |
Mid-low |
39-43 mm |
60-66 mm |
Slightly bottom-heavy, with the biggest edges and spine of the five and medium concaving to balance it. |
| SRT |
Low |
37-40 mm |
60-63 mm |
Bottom-heavy balance with minimal concaving. |
| TTS (toe to spine) |
Mid to mid/low |
37-41 mm |
60-65 mm |
Balanced true to weight, with an extended sweet spot and mild concaving. |
As a rough guide, a low or mid-low middle (SRT, CBP) rewards front-foot players and the slower, lower pitches most of us play on in India, where you are driving and working the ball square. A mid middle (HLS, TTS) suits back-foot play and bouncier tracks. VK is the safe all-round pick if you are not sure.
Care, warranty and delivery
It arrives pre-knocked and ready to play. English willow is softer than Kashmir willow and rewards a bit of care: oil the face sparingly once a season, keep a scuff sheet on the blade, and give the toe and edges a few gentle taps with a mallet before the first match of the year. Covered by a 1-year handle warranty, set out on our cricket bat warranty page. Free shipping across India, usually dispatched within 1 to 2 business days.
