Kookaburra Kahuna Players 2021 Tom Latham Cricket Bat
The Kookaburra Kahuna Players 2021 Tom Latham 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 2021 Kahuna graphics associated with New Zealand's Tom Latham.
Only five 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 2021 Tom Latham Kahuna.
Made from Grade 1 English Willow, the Tom Latham Kahuna Players bat has a full duck-bill profile with plenty of willow through the main hitting area, giving you a substantial sweet spot and plenty of wood behind the ball. The duck-bill takes weight out of the lower blade to keep the pick-up balanced and prevents the bat from feeling bottom-heavy.
