Cricket bats come in all shapes and weights, and every player has their own preference when it comes to balance, grip, and stroke play. Some say an English willow offers unmatched power, while others swear by a well-prepared Kashmir willow. I was recently part of a casual discussion in one of the modern meeting rooms in Dubai, and even there the debate on which cricket bat performs best got pretty heated. What’s your go-to bat, and do you prefer a lightweight design or a heavier one for stronger shots?
