Wicketkeeper Pads
A wicketkeeper also requires the extra protection of wearing a box and pads.

If you are new to wicketkeeping then an ordinary pair of batting pads will suffice.

Wicketkeeping pads

If you are to make standing behind the stumps a regular occurrence then you will probably find it easier in a specialised pair of wicketkeeping pads.

Essentially they are similar to batting pads, but they are shorter and as such lighter in weight making them easier to move and dive around in.
