Salix AIR Marque Cricket Bat (2025)

 The AJK encapsulates our experience and our passion as batmakers.
* It is our most modern shape, combining a sharper, targeted semi-flat pressed face with a languid, deep bow to create a dramatically profiled, flared edge, power-house of a bat.
* This unique combination of modern profile with deep bow is achieved by multi-stage, tailored pressing.
* The AJK shares the fluid, sculpted lines of the Pod but with our contemporary flatter face profile.
* With the highest driving area in the range, it is designed and built to inspire confident, accomplished players with an instinctive game.
