Finished cricket bats are seen inside a factory in Sangam, south of Srinagar, Indian controlled Kashmir, September 22, 2022. Kashmir’s dwindling willow plantations are impacting the region’s famed cricket bat industry and risking the supply of cricket bats in India, where the sport is hugely followed. The industry employs more than 10,000 people and manufactures nearly a million bats a year. (Photo by Dar Yasin/AP Photo)
