Equipment supplier, Cricket Deal Direct UK Ltd (CDD) is delighted to announce the appointment of New Zealand cricketer Tim McIntosh as a Brand Ambassador for its innovative SM brand of cricket equipment.
“I’m really excited to be working with Cricket Deal Direct as a Brand Ambassador for the SM range. SM’s large range means that we can find the model product for every cricketer’s age group, skill level and budget” said McIntosh.
The appointment will further strengthen CDD’s relationship with the cricket community in supplying high quality equipment at a price more accessible to clubs, and cricketers at all levels.
Having signed an exclusive multi-year UK and European distribution deal with the manufacturer, Cricket Deal Direct are able to offer prices at approximately 40 per cent less than many other branded bats without compromising on the quality. This is extremely positive news for the cricket community and in particular, for those wishing to enter into, and progress within the sport.
The partnership is yet further progress in Managing Director, Ian Anderson’s master plan to build Cricket Deal Direct in to a business that is run, states Anderson, “by cricketers, for cricketers.” Further to this he adds “SM is an exciting brand to work with, they consistently produce quality hand-crafted kit by talented and passionate craftsmen in India. I am pleased that Tim has got behind us in introducing this exciting cricket brand to the wider cricketing community, for all to benefit.”
Having recently been using the equipment whilst playing in New Zealand, Tim was very impressed with how comfortable the bat was to settle in “It only took two nets for the bat to start feeling like it was ready to play with,” he said, “I’m using a 2lb 9oz King of Kings bat and for me, it picks up like a 2lb 7oz and has a really large sweet spot – with a lot of wood in it.
With high quality cricket equipment, coaching gear, balls and clothing all available direct from the source, without the middleman, Cricket Deal Direct ensures competitive pricing. As well as sporting equipment, Cricket Deal Direct also offers printing, embroidery and trophies.
