It is vital to pick up the right bat based on your level of cricket. There are
specifically designed bats for beginners and professionals, respectively. Professional players
usually go for English Willow and Kashmir Willow. These bats cannot be used to play right
after purchasing as it requires oiling and knocking before the game. Distinguishing between
the two willows is simple as the English Willow is whiter & the Kashmir Willow is usually
brownish. Professional cricketers prefer English Willow as they are made lighter, softer and
have better grain quality. However, Kashmir Willow is also liked by many players as they are
famous for their durability and quality. The size, weight and willow grade are the vital points
to consider while purchasing the bat.
