The 2026 Gray-Nicolls Havoc Cricket Bat Range has been engineered for the modern power player – the kind of cricketer who wants to take the game on from ball one. Combining an aggressive profile with cutting-edge batmaking technology, the Havoc range is all about explosive power, fast bat speed and maximum impact in the big moments. With its bold design, dynamic shape and performance-focused construction, Havoc is built for players who thrive on attacking cricket and want their bat to match their intent. At the heart of the range is the Havoc itself – a bat with a full, imposing profile, a high-performing sweet spot and a shape that encourages clean, powerful hitting all around the wicket. Carefully selected English willow is crafted to deliver a superb balance between pickup and power, giving players the confidence to clear the infield, find the gaps and go over the top when the opportunity arises. The pronounced edges and strong spine work together to generate serious performance, while the refined handle and grip combination help maintain control even when you’re swinging with intent.
A standout feature of the 2026 line-up is the Havoc Neocore version. Incorporating Gray-Nicolls’ Neocore technology, this model is designed to enhance feel, responsiveness and bat speed, making it ideal for aggressive stroke-makers who still demand precision. The Neocore construction helps deliver a more lively, responsive hitting zone, giving you instant feedback through the hands and allowing you to manipulate the ball with confidence – whether you’re ramping, scooping or launching straight back over the bowler’s head. It’s a bat that rewards positive intent and modern shot-making.
The Havoc range also carries serious endorsement at the highest level, being used by England star Harry Brook. His fearless, attacking style is the perfect showcase for what Havoc is built to do – take on world-class bowling and change games in a matter of overs. Seeing Havoc in the hands of a player like Brook underlines the range’s credentials as a genuine elite-level performance bat, trusted on the biggest stages.
Importantly, Gray-Nicolls have ensured that the Havoc story doesn’t stop with senior players. The Havoc Junior rangebrings the same aggressive profile and modern styling to younger cricketers who want to play with freedom and power. Scaled and balanced specifically for developing players, the junior Havoc bats are designed to encourage good techniquewhile still allowing juniors to hit the ball hard and enjoy their cricket. Lighter pickups, appropriately sized handles and carefully considered profiles mean that young players can benefit from the Havoc DNA without being overpowered by the bat.
Whether you’re an ambitious club cricketer, a school first-team player or an aspiring professional, the 2026 Gray-Nicolls Havoc Range – including the Havoc Neocore and Junior models – offers a complete family of bats built for modern, attacking cricket. With its blend of innovative technology, bold design and pro-level endorsement, Havoc is the ideal choice for players who want to dominate bowlers and create a bit of chaos every time they walk to the crease.
