Batting Gloves
With broken fingers being one of the most common cricketing injuries it is essential that batting gloves are worn.

Batting gloves
Injuries are usually caused when the ball traps the fingers of the bottom hand against the handle of the bat.

Each finger of both gloves has flexible padded areas, with the thumb of the bottom hand (right hand for a right handed batter) sporting extra protection.
