Handcrafted in Meerut and shipped worldwide in 4–5 days.
Why choose Kashmir willow
Kashmir willow bats take knocks in their stride, hold up well in all conditions and cost far less than English willow — so they're a smart pick for beginners, growing juniors, academies and everyday play. You still get a clean, well-balanced bat with a generous hitting area, made by the same craftsmen behind our English willow range.
Kashmir willow tennis ball cricket bats
A large part of this range is built for tennis-ball cricket rather than the season ball. Hard tennis ball cricket bats need a thicker, denser blade and a low sweet spot, because a taped or hard tennis ball sits up and asks to be hit rather than driven; soft tennis ball bats can run lighter for faster hands. Our scoop, mongoose and Hitter profiles are made for exactly this game — tournament tape-ball, gully and society cricket — while the straight-blade Kashmir willow bats double happily between leather and tennis ball play.
Care tips
A light oiling and a quick knock-in extend the life of any willow bat. Store it away from extreme heat and damp, and use a bat cover between games. Bats used only for tennis-ball cricket need less knocking-in than leather-ball bats, but a few sessions with a mallet still protect the edges.
Frequently asked questions
Kashmir or English willow — which should I buy?
Choose Kashmir willow for value, durability and casual or training use; choose English willow for the best performance in competitive cricket. Tell us your level and budget and we'll advise.
Are Kashmir willow bats good for tennis-ball cricket?
Yes — their density and durability make them a great choice for tennis-ball and gully cricket, and several bats in this range are built specifically for it.
Which bat is best for hard tennis ball cricket?
Look for a heavier, thick-edged blade with a low sweet spot — our scoop and mongoose profiles and the Hitter tennis bat are made for hard tennis and tape-ball play. For softer tennis balls a lighter straight blade gives you quicker hands.
Can I use a tennis ball bat for leather ball cricket?
We don't recommend it. Tennis-ball bats are pressed for a lighter ball and can be damaged by the season ball. Use one of our leather-ball Kashmir or English willow bats for hard-ball cricket.
