In this photograph taken on December 14, 2016, an Indian craftsman works on unfinished cricket bats in a factory in Meerut, some 70kms north-east of New Delhi.
As Indian factory worker Jitender Singh carves out another big-hitting slab of thick willow he insists MCC proposals to limit the size of cricket bats won't tame Twenty20 marauders. "I don't think the thickness matters. It's more about the balance of the bat and the talent of the batsman," says Singh, who has made bats for many stars, including South Africa's AB de Villiers. The World Cricket committee of the MCC, the guardians of the game, recommended in December 2016 that limitations be placed on the width and depth of bats because it had become too easy to smash fours and sixes.
