Playing hardball cricket requires the right gear to ensure you’re protected on the field. At a minimum, you’ll need a cricket bat, helmet, batting pads, gloves, and a protective box. Read on for a breakdown of the essential equipment to keep you safe and ready for play.
First and foremost, every player needs a high-quality cricket bat. ZEALOTS CRICKET specializes in expertly crafted, hand-made bats suitable for everyone—from school-aged juniors to experienced club players. There’s a perfect bat in their range for every cricketer.
Gloves are another crucial piece of equipment. Since the fingers are at risk from fast deliveries and mis-hits, a sturdy pair of batting gloves will help protect your hands while still allowing freedom of movement and grip control.
Don’t forget your batting pads. They shield your legs from painful impacts, especially against fast bowlers. ZEALOTS CRICKET pads combine comfort, lightweight materials, and top-tier protection so you can focus on your performance—not potential injuries.
A helmet is now mandatory for all batters under 18, but we recommend it to everyone. Head protection is vital to prevent serious injury, and modern helmets offer both safety and comfort.
When it comes to footwear, ordinary trainers aren’t enough for grass pitches. You’ll need dedicated cricket shoes with spikes for grip and stability. The latest EliteGuard Pro gears from ZEALOTS CRICKET are engineered for maximum performance, while the Players model is available in both spiked and moulded stud versions to suit your preferences.
With the right kit from ZEALOTS CRICKET, you’ll be equipped for both safety and success every time you step on the field.
