When playing hard-ball cricket, you are probably most concerned about your overall safety and batting pads play an important role in that.

Below is our size guide that will help you choose the right batting pads for maximum protection.

Selection of right batting gloves also plays an important part in your performance as a batsman. Obviously, the gloves allow you to grip your bat perfectly and play your strokes freely. Besides, they give your hands the safety they need. The gloves size is usually measured in centimeters and it is the measurement of length starting from your wrist and going all the way to the tip of your longest finger in straight line. Gloves sizes can also differ from one manufacturer to the other. However, here’s a size guide that will help you choose the right gloves.

Keeping pads are different from the batting pads.

The length of these pads is measured in the same fashion and you can follow our guide here for the selection of most appropriate keeping pads in terms of size.
