dc.description.abstract	The rear spine of a cricket bat gives it a characteristic cross section structure. The sweet spot indicates the position on the bat where the deformation from impact is minimal, and from where the ball comes out with maximum velocity after rebound. By modifying the spine profile structure, the Sweet spot can be improved by increasing the stroke (decreasing the minimum deformation) and enhance the bat performance. The aim of this study was to design a new modified bat with an improved spine profile, and to compare it with the existing bats. As per the new international regulations that came into effect from September 28, 2017, the design of the bat was done without violating the rules set by ICC. The performance analysis and comparison of the bats were executed through simulation, using finite element modeling followed by modal analysis to determine the regions and magnitude of vibrational deformation using ANSYS Workbench.	en_US
