About Wular Sports

Handcrafting Kashmiri Willow Cricket Bats from the Heart of Kashmir

Who We Are

Wular Sports is a cricket bat manufacturer based in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India — the heartland of Kashmiri willow craftsmanship. We design and handcraft premium cricket bats from Grade A and Grade A+ Kashmiri willow wood, built for every format of the game: hard tennis, soft tennis, tape ball, and professional leather ball cricket.

Every bat that leaves our workshop is a product of skilled hands, carefully selected willow, and an obsession with quality. We believe that every cricketer in India deserves a bat that performs at the highest level — without paying the premium of English willow. That is what Wular Sports was built to deliver.

Why Kashmiri Willow?

Kashmir Valley has been producing world-class cricket bat willow for decades. The cool Himalayan climate, clean water, and rich soil create willow with exceptional density, natural durability, and striking grain patterns — qualities that translate directly into bat performance and longevity.

Kashmiri willow is denser than English willow, making it naturally more resistant to cracking on Indian pitches — which are often abrasive, hard, or concrete. Our bats are naturally seasoned for 1 to 3 years before crafting, which compresses the wood fibers and develops the hitting power the willow is capable of.

While English willow commands a price of ₹8,000 to ₹50,000+, premium Kashmiri willow bats from Wular Sports deliver comparable club-level performance at a fraction of the cost — making serious cricket accessible to every player.

Our Craft

Each Wular Sports bat goes through a rigorous manufacturing process:

  • Wood Selection: We hand-select every willow cleft for grain count, density, and absence of defects. Only Grade A and A+ willow makes the cut.
  • Natural Seasoning: Selected clefts are air-dried for 1–3 years in our Srinagar workshop. No artificial kiln drying — only time and mountain air.
  • Hard Pressing: For our hard tennis range, blades are machine-pressed to increase surface density and durability, creating the power-hitting surface the format demands.
  • Scoop Profiles: Our craftsmen shape scoop profiles — ramp scoop for premium hard tennis bats, honeycomb scoop for soft tennis bats — by hand for precise weight distribution.
  • Singapore Cane Handles: Every bat is fitted with a premium Singapore cane handle for natural vibration absorption and a responsive, comfortable feel.
  • Knocking & Oiling: Every bat ships fully knocked and oiled — ready for match play out of the box.
