Description
SS Abhishek Sharma Grade 1 English Willow Cricket Bat – Players Edition
~ For the left-hander who takes the powerplay apart.
Abhishek Sharma has made his name as an aggressive left-handed opener who attacks from the first over, and this Players Edition is cut for that game. Grade 1 English willow with a players-grade cleft and concave edges gives a large hitting area and fast pick-up, so the bat comes down quickly through the line on the up. Built for batters who look to score, not survive, inside the field restrictions.
Why Players Choose the Abhishek Sharma Players Edition
Grade 1 English Willow
The top commercial grade, selected for clean straight grain and minimal blemish. Grade 1 clefts respond faster out of the wrapper and hold their rebound longer than lower grades.
Players-Grade Selection
Players Edition clefts are picked ahead of standard retail stock, so grain count and cleft weight are tighter than the same model in a mass-market run.
Concave Profile, Cane Handle
Concave edges move mass into the hitting zone, widening the sweet spot without adding pick-up weight. Cane handle with a high-tack grip, supplied with a protective cover.

FAQ Section
Q1: What grade of willow is this bat made from? Grade 1 English willow — the top commercial grade, selected for straight, evenly spaced grain and minimal blemish.
Q2: Does it come pre-knocked, or do I need to knock it in? It ships raw, like almost all English willow bats, and needs knocking-in before match use to compress the fibres and reduce the risk of cracking.
Q3: What weights are available? Light (2lbs 7oz – 2lbs 8oz) and Medium (2lbs 9oz – 2lbs 10oz). Stock varies by weight.
Q4: How is a Players Edition different from a standard retail bat? Players Edition clefts are selected ahead of standard retail stock and shaped closer to the profile the named player uses — tighter grain selection and a more performance-oriented shape.
Q5: Is the Short Handle size right for me? Short Handle suits most adult players of average to tall height. Check the size guide above against your own height and reach.
Q6: Does TopCricketStore ship this within the USA? Yes, from our Edison, NJ warehouse to addresses nationwide, with free shipping on orders over $100.
