SRINAGAR: GR8 Sports India Pvt Ltd, a producer of Kashmir Willow cricket bats, announced the debut of its Kashmir willow bat in the Women’s International Cricket on Thursday.
This development comes after it participated in the ICC T20 Cricket World Cups of 2021 and 2022, alongside the ODI World Cup in 2023.
Notably, during the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, a bat manufactured by GR8 Sports facilitated the longest hit six of the tournament, highlighting the quality and effectiveness of their products.
GR8 Sports’ cricket bats and equipment will be used by about half a dozen international cricketers from the West Indies Women’s Team during their Pakistan Tour, comprising 3 One Day Internationals and 5 T20 Internationals against Pakistan, reads a statement issued by the company.
Fawzul Kabiir, Managing Director of GR8 Sports, emphasised, “This achievement is a testament to the hard work, expertise, and craftsmanship combined with the utilization of AI-based cutting-edge technology at GR8 Sports. We have always believed in pushing boundaries and setting new standards in cricket equipment manufacturing.”
“The debut of our Kashmir willow bat in Women’s International Cricket not only underscores its performance but also serves as a myth buster in the cricketing world. It disproves the misconception that Kashmir willow bats are heavier or inferior to English willow bats, highlighting our commitment to excellence,” he further added.
“It isn’t only the wood, handle, or sticker that makes a professional Cricket Bat but craftsmanship, expertise, adherence to ICC Standards, understanding batters’ needs, playing conditions, Batting order and our Innovative Patented Techniques and Technologies that make a Professional Cricket Bat,” he added.
