Padded batting gloves for tape-ball and hard-ball cricket, in men's and youth sizes for right- and left-handed batters.
Buying batting gloves
- Hand: right-handed batters wear right-hand gloves (extra protection on the left-hand thumb); left-handers choose left.
- Size: men's fits most adults; youth suits players roughly 12–15 years old.
- Fit: fingers should reach the tips without pinching, and the wrist strap should close firmly.
Questions about Batting Gloves
Do I need batting gloves for tape-ball cricket?

How do I choose right- or left-handed gloves?
Choose the hand you bat with: right-handed batters buy right-handed gloves, which have extra padding on the bottom hand's thumb.
