Jalandhar Willow Cricket Bat Carving Workshop

Jalandhar's sports goods cluster includes specialised cricket bat workshops in Leather Complex and Nakodar Road that receive Kashmir willow clefts and press them into bat blades using hydraulic presses before craftsmen profile the spine, shoulders, and edges with draw knives and scrapers. Bat knocking with wooden mallets and hand-rolling hardens the blade surface for play. Jalandhar bats made by firms like BDM, Sanspareils Greenlands (SG), and Cosco are used by national cricketers and sold in international markets, making the district the dominant producer of affordable cricket equipment in Asia.
