1993

The First Outfield Mower with the Curators

Liberal works with the PCB Curator Department to build a locally made equivalent of the imported  Ransome Mastiff mower. It goes on to become one of the best-selling mowers for cricket outfields in the country.

1999

The Auto-Cricket Roller replaces the single imported roller

The PCB relied on one imported roller for pitches nationwide. Moving it between cities was slow and left grounds with uneven pitch quality. Suhail Iqbal, working with PCB chief curator Haji Bashir and under Chairman General Tauqir Zia, was asked to build a roller locally. The design was replicated without dismantling the original machine

PCB Ground-Drying Equipment Initiative​

In 2002, Liberal Lawn Mowers replicated the Super Sopper in coordination with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), addressing the limited availability of these machines in Pakistan. The initiative was undertaken in consultation with Agha Zahid, Chief Curator, and Haji Bashir Ahmed, Ground Headman, to support efficient water removal from cricket outfields and improve ground preparation for play.
