Cricket Ball: The most essential component for playing cricket is a set of cricket balls. There are a variety of cricket balls available, ranging from inexpensive plastic balls (Rs. 5) to expensive leather balls. These balls are chosen based on various factors. The cost of the cricket ball used in international cricket, however, is the main question that cricket fans have.
In a cricket match, a four-piece leather ball is typically used, which is more expensive than a two-piece ball. The cost of a cricket leather ball is determined by the manufacturing process and the worker’s talent. A highly skilled worker guarantees to produce the greatest leather ball for use in international competitions. A ball for men’s cricket must weigh 5.75 to 5.5 ounces. In women’s cricket, the ball must weigh between 4 15/16 and 5 1/16 ounces.
What are the types of balls used in international cricket?
The Kookaburra, SG, and Duke balls are the three types of balls now in use worldwide. Duke is mainly used in England, Kookaburra is mainly used in Australia, and SG is mainly used in India. The preferred balls are red or white, depending on the format.
It’s important to note that Kookaburra balls are manufactured by machines, whereas Duke and SG balls require skilled labor.
