MB Sports has been making cricket bats since 1964 out of their factory in Sialkot, Pakistan. Handmade, each cricket bat is made of English Willow imported from England, while Cane, imported from Singapore, is used for the handles. From a raw block of wood to a beautiful final product, each bat is finely crafted and inspected before shipping out to cricket players worldwide.
This is how 800 million pounds of Khewra salt, often called Himalayan salt, is mined each year. Formed over 250 million years ago, and first mined in the 1200s, Himalayan salt is a mineral that was initially used as a food preservative. These days, it's more commonly used in bath salts, salt lamps, salt bricks, salt tiles and even medicines.
The Khewra Salt Mine is famous for its production of pink Khewra salt which is an 250 million-year-old, non-renewable resource. The mine is huge, comprised of a network of roughly 25 miles of tunnels. The main ground level tunnel was first dug in 1872 during the British rule. From this tunnel, the mine extends about 2,440 feet into the mountains.
Nearly 70% of the world's soccer balls are made in the city of Sialkot, Pakistan. Home to nearly 1,000 soccer ball factories, and employing nearly 60,000 people, this city is the epicenter for the world's most popular sport, enjoyed by over 4 billion people.

The lack of protective equipment is disturbing. They're probably all deaf by the age of 30.
Dangerous promotion of not wearing PPI. I wouldn't share this. At least not the first part. Loose clothes around the planer, table saw and band saw, no closed steel toe boots, no masks, no safety glasses. Why work in those conditions? The 3rd world country excuse doesn't cut it anymore (but those saws certainly do). Accidents happen to everyone in the world, Pakistani or American. As well as Silicosis or cancer.
I thought cricket bats were flat.
Flat on one side.
The face/side you use to strike is a wooden block which is generally flat. The other/reverse side has a ridge which concentrates wood in the middle of where the ball is generally hit
The fact that the handle is just "wedged" into the bat is amazing.
Popular Mechanics..... I get you on my Samsung Discover App... Why do you have so many stories about finding all kinds of things, yet you never have any pictures just some journalist going on & on about a bunch of grap that was supposedly found.
Former British Colony until 1947.
You didn't mention the biggest export of terrorism😂
