Wooden Cricket Bat

Description

A **wooden cricket bat** is an important piece of equipment used in cricket to hit the ball. It is usually made from **willow wood**, with two common types being **English willow** (more expensive and used by professional players) and **Kashmir willow** (more affordable and suited for beginners).

The bat has three main parts:
– **Blade**: The flat part used to hit the ball.
– **Handle**: The top part that the player holds.
– **Toe**: The bottom of the bat.

Cricket bats come in different sizes and weights, with lighter bats for younger players. To keep a bat in good condition, players often apply oil, “knock it in” (soften the wood), and store it carefully.
