What is wickets made of?

Answer 1

The wickets are composed of two component pieces: stumps and bails. Both are made out of wood.

Stumps and bails can be made out of different types of wood, depending on the location. The tradition in England is to use English Ash for both the stumps and the bails. In particular, bails may be made of heavier woods in places where wind is a significant factor (as in the bails have a tendency to be blown off the stumps).
