In cricket, there are primarily two types of bats:
- English Willow Bat: This is the preferred choice for professional cricketers. These cricket bats are made from English willow wood, which is lighter and offers better performance. English willow bats are generally more expensive and require some maintenance, such as oiling and knocking, to maintain their performance and durability.
- Kashmir Willow Bat: These bats are made from Kashmir willow wood and are typically more affordable than English willow bats. They are a popular choice for amateur and casual players. While not as high-performing as English willow bats, Kashmir willow bats can still offer good value for money.
Both types of bats come in various shapes, sizes, and weights to suit different playing styles and preferences
