Indian origin developer Dr. Darshil Shah pushes cricket’s lawmakers to find sustainable alternatives in cricket beyond the English willow. When he tried to bring about positive changes in the core of cricket bat he was very well prepared for traditionalists’ criticism. This might sound like the best sports news for environmentalists but it is quite the opposite for traditionalists.
A study was done by Dr. Shah and his co-author Ben Tinkler-Davies that was published in the Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology. They concluded it by mentioning that bamboo stick is sturdy and have more capacity to provide energy on the field. But this innovation was not going to be accepted by the custodians of the game and hence Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) denied this proposal by saying it is illegal.
The MCC is the authority that makes laws and brings changes in the Cricket world therefore their decision was considered to be the most superior. They further mentioned that this angle is not right to consider as an alternative to willow bats. But Dr. Darshil is already prepared for this as he is aware of the fact that acceptance of this new invention might take time because of the official acceptance.
