Dream. Play. Rise.
Nine bats, hand-pressed through eight stages in our Meerut workshop and shipped straight to your door. No importer, no distributor, no retail markup — just the willow, built to your spec, in Australian dollars. Flat AUD $63 tracked shipping, in your hands in 11–12 days — ready for round one.
Ciel Sports is a cricket bat manufacturer in Meerut, India — the city that produces roughly 70% of the world's cricket bats, including a great many that reach Australian shelves under other names. Every bat we sell is graded, pressed, shaped and finished in our own workshop, then shipped directly to the player.
That matters for one simple reason. A bat made in Meerut and sold in Australia normally passes through a brand, an exporter, an importer and a retailer, each adding margin along the way. Buying direct removes all of them. The willow is the same, the pressing is the same, the craftsmanship is the same — only the supply chain is shorter.
Whether you are chasing runs in premier grade, turning out for a club second XI on a Saturday, or buying a junior their first proper English willow bat, the whole range is here in Australian dollars, from $121 to $906 AUD.
Every bat is made to order: your player profile, your exact weight, your handle shape, your size and your name laser-engraved on the blade — at no extra charge. Tracked shipping to Australia is a flat AUD $63 per bat — a fraction of the markup you avoid. And when you message us, Akshat or Utkarsh answer personally, not a support queue.

Australian wickets are, on the whole, harder and truer with more consistent bounce than most cricket played anywhere else. That changes where the ball meets the bat — and it should change the bat you order.
More bounce means more contact higher on the blade. A mid to slightly higher swell puts the sweet spot where the ball actually arrives, and helps square-of-the-wicket play on true surfaces. Power hitters in T20 grades may still prefer mid-low.
Hard, quick wickets reward bat speed and late adjustment far more than dead weight. Most Australian club batters are better served by a well-balanced 1,180–1,220g bat than by the heaviest one they can lift.
Abrasive Australian outfields and hard new balls are demanding on willow. 6–9 grains is the practical sweet spot for a full summer, and every bat leaves us knocked in with a toe guard fitted.
