Wood used in making cricking cricket bats, from which is got?
they got it from the kashmir. There are a few reasons why willow is the best wood to make cricket bats. Fast Growing As it only takes around 15 years to harvest this tree, this is a relatively fast growth speed compared to many other trees. Durability Due to this wood being soft, extremely tough, and very resistant to splitting, this makes for the perfect combination for a cricket bat. With some test matches lasting longer than 5 days, needing a durable cricket bat is a must. The Weight Although the other advantages listed above make this type of wood perfect for cricket, its weight has a massive impact. Compared to other woods, willow is extremely light, making it easier for the batters to swing for six, and run back and forth to score a run. However, there had been one instance where a wood that was not made of willow played competitively. In 1979, Dennis Lillee played with an aluminium bat. Unfortunately, this only lasted four balls after claims of the bat damaging the ball!
