Legend has it that around 500 BC, Persian rulers brought saffron to India and planted Persian saffron corms in the soil of Kashmir.

Bat Factory.jpg

Bat Factory

Timings : Any time during the day

We have heard of bats from Kookaburra Beast, Reebok Blast or Gray Nicholas Wyper brands. However, the bats from traditional Kashmiri willow factories is quite unheard of, for many.

Interestingly, two major places in the world, England and Kashmir, sources the willow used in the manufacturing of professional cricket bats. Willow from England (mainly from Essex area) is regarded supreme quality, whereas willow bats from Kashmir come in cheaper prices as compared to the British ones, and are comparatively heavy as its raw material is heavy. Many experts believe that Kashmiri willow bats lack the punch, while playing the shot as compared to their English counterparts and is considered ideal for beginners, but because it is cost effective, it makes a good substitute.

What is interesting is that the bark of willow trees/plants has been used as a traditional remedy for cold, fevers, and joint pains in many cultures for ages. Of the willow trees (scientific name, Salix Alba), a variety of white willow, also called cricket bat willow (variety cerulean) is used to make the cricket bats. The raw wood (without boiled) is treated with linseed oil which then serves as a protective layer. This wood is hard and withstands bumps or dent even after being hit by the ball, yet it is lightweight. British willow bats are whiter in colour, whereas the Kashmir willows are brownish in colour and the grain density of white willows is higher than Kashmir willow. Quality of the bat is higher if the grains are straighter and when there are less blemishes on the bat.
