Kookaburra Kahuna Players 2019 Martin Guptill Cricket Bat
The Kookaburra Kahuna Players 2019 Martin Guptill Cricket Bat is an exclusive one-of-one bat created for Kookaburra Week 2026 at Players Sports. Handmade from Grade 1 English Willow by Kookaburra Head Bat Maker Lachlan Dinger at the Melbourne Batcave, this unique bat combines a full duck-bill Players shape with the 2019 Kahuna graphics associated with New Zealand's Martin Guptill.
Only five one-of-one Kahuna Players bats have been handmade especially for Players Sports for Kookaburra Week 2026. Each represents a different era of the Kahuna, pairing a historic sticker design with a player closely associated with that generation. This particular bat celebrates the 2019 Martin Guptill Kahuna, making it a genuine one-off within the Players Sports exclusive five-bat collection.
Made from Grade 1 English Willow, the Martin Guptill Kahuna Players bat carries plenty of willow through the main hitting area, creating a substantial sweet spot and powerful response off the blade. Its full duck-bill profile gradually tapers towards the toe, reducing unnecessary weight low in the blade to improve balance and pick-up. The result is a sizeable Players profile that still feels beautifully balanced through the hands.
Who is the Kookaburra Kahuna Players 2019 Martin Guptill best for?
The Kookaburra Kahuna Players 2019 Martin Guptill is best for cricketers and collectors looking for an exclusive handmade Kahuna with a strong connection to New Zealand cricket.

The one-of-one 2019 Martin Guptill presentation adds something particularly special for Kiwi cricket fans and Kahuna collectors.
