Sanspareils Greenlands (SG) is the world’s largest and most reputable manufacturer of cricket equipment.
In pre-independent India, two brothers named Kedar Nath Anand and Dwarka Nath Anand founded the business in 1931. It began as largely an export-focused manufacturing facility. Sunil Gavaskar was chosen to represent SG in the 1970s, and as they say, the rest is history.
From English Willow and Kashmir Willow Cricket Bats, Hand-Stitched Leather Balls, Protective Equipment, Cricket Whites, Kit bags, to all forms of Cricket Footwear and Accessories, SG has developed into a strong manufacturing enterprise.
