The product invented by Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) faculty members, Professor Tariq Murtaza from the Department of Physical Education and Shamshad Ali, Associate Professor, University Polytechnic has been recently patented by Government of India’s Patent Office.

“Since cricketers for very long have been carrying many different types of bats, we felt it was imperative to address this problem and produce a bat that allows batsmen to change handles on need basis. This bat reflects the values of the new age cricketer”, said Prof Tariq Murtaza and Shamshad Ali.

The cricket bat with detachable handle of changing length contains two parts, one that remains fixed with the blade of the cricket bat and the other with a portion for detachable handles in which handles of varied lengths can be fixed as per the requirement of the batsmen
