Hi Afzaaluddin,

The first thing that will wear out is the surface of the rubber.  If you hold the bat up to the light at an angle you will see the pimples starting to show through the surface of the rubber.  There will be dots on the surface.

Also you can rub your finger across the rubber and see if it is still grippy.  If it is smooth and slippery, it is time to change rubber.
