Good quality cricket bat is made from which wood ?

  • A.Populus deltoides
  • B.Celtis oustralis
  • C.Salix alba
  • D.Salix tetrasperma

Answer: C

Good-quality cricket bats are made from Salix alba, the white willow.

The variety Salix alba var. caerulea, known as cricket bat willow, gives a light, tough, resilient wood that does not split on impact. English willow from this tree is used for the best bats, and Kashmir willow for cheaper ones.

Populus deltoides (poplar) is used for plywood and matchwood, Celtis australis (printed 'oustralis') for fodder and small timber, and Salix tetrasperma is the Indian willow, not the cricket bat willow.
