MB Sports has been making cricket bats since 1964 out of their factory in Sialkot, Pakistan. Handmade, each cricket bat is made of English Willow imported from England, while Cane, imported from Singapore, is used for the handles. From a raw block of wood to a beautiful final product, each bat is finely crafted and inspected before shipping out to cricket players worldwide.

This is how 800 million pounds of Khewra salt, often called Himalayan salt, is mined each year. Formed over 250 million years ago, and first mined in the 1200s, Himalayan salt is a mineral that was initially used as a food preservative. These days, it's more commonly used in bath salts, salt lamps, salt bricks, salt tiles and even medicines.

The Khewra Salt Mine is famous for its production of pink Khewra salt which is an 250 million-year-old, non-renewable resource. The mine is huge, comprised of a network of roughly 25 miles of tunnels. The main ground level tunnel was first dug in 1872 during the British rule. From this tunnel, the mine extends about 2,440 feet into the mountains.

Nearly 70% of the world's soccer balls are made in the city of Sialkot, Pakistan. Home to nearly 1,000 soccer ball factories, and employing nearly 60,000 people, this city is the epicenter for the world's most popular sport, enjoyed by over 4 billion people.
