Our Story

Founded in the early 2010s by the late Ilyas Butt. MRBCRICKET was born from a passion to make cricket accessible to all. Ilyas, a true cricket enthusiast, was known throughout the Bristol community for his dedication to helping players improve their game with the right equipment. He spent countless hours in Pakistan, visiting cricket bat factories to find the perfect manufacturer, ensuring every bat he offered was hand crafted with  precision and care.

Though Ilyas tragically passed away in 2018, his legacy lives on through MRBCRICKET, now led by his son, Shazil Butt. In 2019, Shazil relaunched the family business with a renewed vision, combining traditional expertise with the power of social media. By being one of the first to showcase bat repairs and refurbishments on TikTok, Shazil quickly built a loyal following. Today, with over 15 million views and an audience of 60,000, MRBCRICKET is trusted across the UK for its exceptional craftsmanship.

At the heart of MRBCRICKET is our commitment to quality and community. Whether it’s repairing a bat on the spot at Bedminster Cricket Club or refurbishing equipment to the highest standard, we are proud to serve cricketers who rely on us to elevate their game.
