126 years in the business
Lords International’s ball manufacturing unit is in Sialkot, Pakistan, and was started by an individual who created the first cricket ball at the start of the 20th century. It’s now 126 years we have been in this business. From 1 individual to a skilled workforce of over 150 employees in 2026 - our unit is now the largest dedicated cricket ball manufacturing facility in Pakistan, producing 900-1,000 balls a day, with the capacity to increase production to 1,200 balls daily when required.
