    How has cricket's equipment changed with the times and yet remained true to its village origins?

    Answer:

    Most important tools of cricket are still made of natural. pre-industrial materials. The bat, stumps and bails are all made of wood. The cricket ball is still made with leather, twine and cork. The material of the bat has changed slightly over time. Once cut out of a single piece of wood, it now consists of two pieces. The blade is made from the wood of the willow tree and the handle is made of cane. Unlike other sports, cricket has refused to make its tools with industrial or man-made materials. Cricket has been influenced by technological changes with regard to its protective equipment. Pads were made of vulcanised rubber from 1848. Metals and synthetic lightweight materials were used to make gloves and helmets.
