00:00Six of the Afghanistan cricket players are going to use Kashmir Willow cricket bat, made

00:08in Kashmir.

00:09This year we are going to make debut in the Test cricket as well because Afghanistan is

00:12a permanent member.

00:13They are a Test playing nation.

00:35It's the tree that grows either in Kashmir or it grows in England only.

00:38There are only two places in the world where it grows, either Kashmir Willow or English

00:42Willow.

00:43We took it to them and they didn't give us any acceptance because they were of the opinion

00:56that nothing can be made in Kashmir.

00:58We travelled to every cricket nation and tried to contact every importer but it was a negative

01:06response.

01:07They accepted it and they told us, see we are going to check this, if we like it, we

01:23will buy it.

01:24There is nothing wrong with it.

01:25That was a breakthrough.

01:26When we gave them the product, they accepted it and used it.

01:31They did not find any kind of difficulty, difference or anything that our product didn't

01:38lag.

01:39We got orders from different countries, not just us, in the whole of Kashmir right now

01:45we have 20 plus manufacturing factories who have international orders.

01:50We have right now UAE, we have right now Bahrain, we have right now Oman, we have right now

01:57Afghanistan.

01:59Just recently we signed a contract with Afghanistan cricket players and all that.

02:10That too cheaper in price and best in quality.

02:13Par with English Willow.
