Sanspareils Greenlands, a cricket equipment manufacturer

Sanspareils Greenlands (SG) is the main manufacturer of cricket balls in India. Its balls are used in Test cricket and in the Ranji Trophy in India. They have a more prominent seam than the Kookaburra balls used for Test matches in rest of the world apart from England and West Indies, resulting from the thicker thread used for stitching.

Its factory has been in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh since 1950.

Since 1994, all Test Matches played in India have been played with SG balls.

SG Test balls are handmade and at Rs 1149 each are said to be 1/5th the price of Kookaburra balls.
