Babar Azam was struggling with bad form for a long time. Runs were not coming from his bat. He was yearning for every single run. But as the years changed, he changed his bat and with it his fortunes changed. He also returned to form and his earnings also increased. Babar had hit two fives in a single day with his new bat. You must be wondering which bat has brought success in the career of this Pakistani player. So the answer is CA Sports, for which Pakistan's legendary cricketer Inzamam-ul-Haq once played.
Actually, the agreement between Babar Azam and UK bat manufacturing company Gray Nickels ended on 30 December. This time he did not continue the sponsorship and made a deal with Pakistani brand CA Sports. According to Pakistani media reports, Babar will get 7 crore Pakistani rupees every year from CA Sports. Earlier, he had a deal with Gray Nickels worth about 5 crore Pakistani rupees. That means his income has increased by Rs 2 crore annually. From the point of view of bat sponsorship, this is considered to be the most expensive deal in the history of Pakistan cricket. According to the report of Pakistani media, the sales of this bat have suddenly increased as soon as the agreement with Babar was signed.
A special deal has also been signed between CA Sports and Babar Azam. According to the report, Babar will get separate money for scoring fifty and century. However, its amount has not been disclosed. The effect of associating with this brand has been visible on Babar. His fortunes have suddenly changed. Babar was struggling with very poor batting form for the last two years. After this, he played his first match in the new year against South Africa in Cape Town. In this match, Pakistan's star batsman had scored half-centuries twice in a single day with his new bat. Babar had scored 58 runs in the first innings and 81 runs in the second innings. However, he failed to save his team from defeat.
