FAQs

How do I choose the correct size for Wicket Keeping Gloves?

Getting the size right is essential for agility behind the stumps. The glove must offer maximum surface area without being so large that it loses control or "feel."

  • The Key Measurement: Measure the hand in a straight line from the start of the wrist crease to the tip of the longest finger.

  • The Fit Test: The fingers should reach the very end of the glove's finger stalls. Unlike batting gloves, wicket keeping gloves should be a snug fit to maintain optimal control and dexterity for quick movements. An oversized glove will hamper reactions and lead to dropped catches.

  • Professional Tip: Always purchase a dedicated pair of Inner Gloves (cotton or padded) to wear underneath, as they absorb sweat, improve comfort, and reduce friction, which can affect the final fit.

What is the legal limit for the 'webbing' between the thumb and forefinger?

The webbing is the key feature that distinguishes a keeping glove from a batting glove, acting as a crucial catching surface. Its size is strictly governed by the Laws of Cricket (Law 40.2).

  • The Law: The webbing is only permitted between the thumb and the forefinger.

  • The Limit: The top edge of the webbing must not protrude beyond a straight line drawn from the top of the index finger to the top of the thumb. Furthermore, the webbing must be taut when the hand is fully opened.

  • Purpose: This restriction ensures the glove is an aid for catching, not an oversized mitt that could unfairly scoop the ball. All professionally sold gloves will conform to this rule.

What is the best palm material for Wicket Keeping Gloves for maximum grip?

The palm surface is designed purely for ball control and grip, which differs significantly from a batting glove's leather palm.

  • Premium Material: The best palms are typically made from high-grade leather (often aniline leather for softness) covered with a high-grip rubber or latex compound.

  • Grip Technology: Look for palm designs featuring an embossed, textured, or "octopus grip" rubber surface. This non-slip, tacky finish maximizes the contact area with the ball, especially in wet conditions, significantly reducing the chance of dropped catches.

  • Padding: The palm area should also feature high-density foam padding to absorb the impact of fast bowling, protecting the hands from bruising and injury.

How do I properly condition and maintain Wicket Keeping Gloves to prevent stiffness and cracking?

Wicket keeping gloves are high-impact gear and require specialized care to maintain the leather's suppleness and the palm's tackiness.

  • Drying Routine (Crucial): Immediately after every use, remove the gloves (and inners) from the kit bag and allow them to air-dry in a cool, shaded, well-ventilated area. Never use direct sunlight or artificial heat, as this will dry out the leather and cause it to become stiff and eventually crack.

  • Conditioning (Leather Palms): For leather portions, apply a specialized leather conditioner or glove oil sparingly once every few months to keep the material soft and flexible. Avoid over-oiling, as this can weaken the grip.

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe off surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild anti-bacterial spray on the inner lining to neutralize odors caused by sweat. Never machine-wash wicket keeping gloves.
