Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these pads suitable for hardball cricket?
A: Yes, the SG LEAGUE Junior pads are designed for hardball cricket with appropriate protective features for junior players in development matches. The dual-density padding and PVC facing provide sufficient protection for youth cricket competitions.
Q: How do I determine the correct size for my child?
A: Measure from the middle of the knee cap to the ankle bone. For the SG LEAGUE Junior pads, this measurement should be within 26-29 cm. The pads should cover the knee when standing and not restrict movement when in the wicket keeping crouch position.
Q: How do these compare to adult wicket keeping pads?
A: These junior pads feature similar protective technologies as adult models but are proportionally sized for younger players. They offer comparable protection levels while being lighter and more maneuverable to suit developing skills and smaller frames.
Q: Can these pads be used for batting as well?
A: While designed primarily for wicket keeping, these pads can be used for batting in practice settings. However, for competitive batting, specialized batting pads are recommended as they offer different protection distribution optimized for facing bowlers directly.
