In professional cricket, bats made from willow wood are preferred. Cricket bats are generally made from the white willow, also called cricket bat willow.

White willow is largely used for the production of cricket bats due to its high shock-resistant ability and overall resilience. English willow and the Kashmir willow are the two major willow kinds of wood used to produce cricket bats.

English willow has its limitations in terms of requirements for producing cricket bats, owing to a shortage of bat makers with the skills to nurture willow saplings into trees. Only a handful of UK companies have expertise in nurturing English willow for producing cricket bats.

English willow bats are lighter to carry than Kashmir willow bats and provide more stability as the blades are thicker. There are certain grades assigned to English willow bats depending on quality. Kashmir willow bats, on the other hand, are made from willow produced in Kashmir and Pakistan.

The wood is heavier and has a brownish tinge to it. Kashmir willow is considerably a lower-cost material, but bats produced using this wood are not as resilient as English willow bats.
