Unbleached English willow refers to a type of wood used in making cricket bats, specifically sourced from the Salix alba tree, which is native to England. Unlike bleached willow, which has undergone a chemical whitening process, unbleached willow retains its natural color and properties, providing a traditional aesthetic and feel. This type of willow is prized for its balance of lightweight strength and shock absorption, making it popular among professional and amateur cricketers alike. Additionally, unbleached willow can offer enhanced performance due to its natural fibers and grain structure.
