The ICC ODI Super League served as the primary qualification pathway for the 2023 Cricket World Cup, featuring 13 teams competing from 2020 to 2023. The 2022 point table reflected crucial standings as teams battled for direct qualification.
India\“s local cricket equipment manufacturers demonstrated remarkable growth during this period. SG (Sanspareils Greenlands), established in 1931, continued producing high-quality cricket bats, balls, and protective gear used by many international players. Their bats, crafted from premium English willow, gained particular recognition for excellent balance and power.
Another significant local product was the SS (Sareen Sports Industries) brand, known for manufacturing cricket equipment since 1968. Their cricket kits, including bats, pads, and gloves, became popular among domestic players for their durability and performance. The company\“s manufacturing facilities in Jalandhar supplied equipment to numerous state-level teams across India.
The MRF brand, though primarily known for tires, maintained its presence in cricket through partnerships and equipment sponsorship. Local sports companies like BDM and Kookaburra India also contributed to the ecosystem by producing quality cricket gear that met international standards. |
