After receiving a notice from the local authority to chop down two trees in danger of falling over, Clarkson was informed the trees he had felled were willows, ideal for making cricket bats.
He claims to have created a business plan with the intention of targeting markets in India and Pakistan.
Clarkson added: “So stand by, cricketists. I’m going to hurt you, but not like you hurt me. I’m going to hurt you in your wallets. I’m going to become the cricket bat king of Chipping Norton and I’m going to bash your credit cards.
“I’ve even done a business plan. Demand is huge in India and Pakistan, where cricket has always been popular.”
He said he has now planted 20 trees which will be ready to fell in 20 years, which he claims will earn him £15,000.
Clarkson has chronicled his attempt at running his 1,000-acre farm in the Amazon Prime series Clarkson’s Farm.
He has won widespread support from the farming community with his campaign to remove red tape stifling agriculture.
