Cricket Leg Pads Buying Guide: How to Choose Batting Pads
Share
What should cricket leg pads do?
Batting pads are designed to protect the lower legs while allowing the player to move comfortably between deliveries and while running.
Fit first
Use the manufacturer's size chart where available and check that the pad sits securely without restricting normal movement.
Protection
Compare the stated protection design, padding and construction of each model. Different players may prefer different levels of bulk and mobility.
Comfort and straps
Look for secure straps, comfortable materials and a fit that remains stable during batting and running.
