Cricket in Pakistan is not mostly played in stadiums. It is played in galis after Maghrib, on rooftops, in school grounds and on any strip of concrete with a wall at one end — and it is played with a taped tennis ball. That is the cricket Safencia stocks for: real tape ball gear that survives a street, at prices that make sense when the ball keeps going over the neighbour's wall.
The range covers everything a game needs. Seven tape ball bats from CA and Fine Gold, in 34 inch for tight streets and 36 inch for reach, with half cane and full cane handles from Rs. 1,850 to Rs. 3,600. Eleven balls: tape balls from a 40g Chamki for small children up to a 74mm tournament ball, plus genuine leather hard balls and synthetic practice balls. And five wicket sets, from a Rs. 400 plastic set for the garden to a Rs. 2,100 wooden spring set whose stumps stand themselves back up after every hit.
We describe this gear the way a shopkeeper who plays would. Every bat lists its real length, weight range and handle type; every ball its real size and weight; every wicket what is actually in the box. Where a spec is missing from the maker we leave it out rather than invent it, and where two products are nearly identical we tell you which one to save your money on. Cash on Delivery to Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and across Pakistan, confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch.
Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a cricket bat cost in Pakistan?
Safencia tape ball bats cost between Rs. 1,850 and Rs. 3,600. The Fine Gold 5 Star is the entry point at Rs. 1,850, the CA Gold Jaguar is the cheapest CA bat at Rs. 2,450, and the Fine Gold Pro 3000 with a full cane handle tops the range at Rs. 3,600.
What is a tape ball bat and how is it different from a hard ball bat?
A tape ball bat is pressed to face a taped tennis ball, not a leather ball. It is lighter, needs no knocking in, and costs far less. Putting a 156g leather hard ball into a tape ball blade will crack or dent it quickly, so the two are not interchangeable. Every bat we stock is a tape ball bat.
Which cricket bat should I buy for tape ball cricket?
Match the length to your space and the handle to how much you bat. A 34 inch bat is easier to control in a narrow gali; a 36 inch gives more reach on a ground. A full cane handle absorbs shock on mistimed shots and is worth it if you bat long spells; half cane is stiffer and cheaper.
What is the difference between a tape ball and a leather hard ball?
A tape ball is a rubber or foam tennis ball, usually wrapped in electrical tape, weighing 40g to 100g and safe for street play. A leather hard ball is genuine cowhide around cork at the regulation 156g, used for club and academy cricket with proper protective gear.
Do you sell cricket gear for young children?
Yes. The Chamki tape ball is 64mm and just 40g, about half the weight of a normal tape ball, and the small Aqeel and Boom wicket sets are Rs. 400. For a child ready for a full-size ball, the Kids Tennis Ball is regular tennis size at about Rs. 166 a ball.
Which cricket wickets should I buy?
For a garden or street, a plastic set at Rs. 400 to Rs. 600 is right — the Aqeel base fills with water from a tap, the Boom takes sand or soil. For tournaments, the Rs. 2,100 wooden spring set has stumps that snap back upright after every hit, so nobody walks down to reset them.
Is Cash on Delivery available for cricket equipment?
Yes. Safencia delivers cricket gear with Cash on Delivery across Pakistan — Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, Sialkot, Quetta and more. Orders are confirmed on WhatsApp and you pay the rider in cash on arrival.
