The news of Babar Azam switching his bat sponsor from England’s Gray Nicholls to CA Sports spread like wildfire on social media. This led to his signed piece selling out within minutes.
The change was good for the 30-year-old on the field as well as he scored two consecutive half-centuries in his two outings with the new willow.
Sources have revealed that Babar Azam’s bat sponsorship deal with CA Sports is worth an impressive Rs. 7 crore per annum.
According to inside information, the deal not only guarantees Babar a fixed annual payment but also includes significant performance-based bonuses.
