CBP Cricket Batting Gloves — Grip, Comfort and Protection
CBP cricket batting gloves are handcrafted to protect your fingers and hands from a hard leather ball while giving you the grip and feel you need to bat with confidence. Each pair combines high-density foam padding and sausage-style finger rolls over the fingers and thumb with a soft, sweat-absorbing inner lining, so your hands stay protected and comfortable through a long innings. A durable, tacky palm gives a secure hold on the bat handle, and an adjustable wrist strap locks in a snug fit for players of every hand size. Every pair is quality-checked and ready to play, with free shipping across India.
Cricket batting glove anatomy and terminology
Understanding the parts of a batting glove makes it much easier to choose the right pair:
Finger padding: The rolls of high-density foam over the top of each finger and the thumb. This is your main protection against the ball, especially on bouncy pitches; better gloves use denser, multi-piece foam that absorbs impact without feeling stiff.
Palm: The gripping surface inside the glove, usually leather or a durable synthetic. A good palm is tacky enough to hold the handle securely and soft enough to let you feel your shots.
Wrist strap: The adjustable strap that fastens the glove around your wrist, holding it firm without cutting in so the glove moves as one with your hand.
Sweat cuff: The towelling band at the wrist that soaks up sweat and keeps your grip dry over a long innings.
Cricket batting gloves size guide
Batting gloves should fit snugly with a little room at the fingertips — too loose and they slip, too tight and they restrict your hands. Size by the player's age and hand size rather than by brand alone:
| Size | Age (approx.) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Boys / Junior | 6–10 years | Young beginners |
| Youth | 10–13 years | Growing junior players |
| Small Men's / Compact | 13–15 years | Teens and smaller adult hands |
| Men's (Standard) | 15+ years | Most adult players |
Between sizes? Size up slightly for comfort, or message us on WhatsApp with the player's age and hand measurement and we will recommend the right fit.
Batting glove materials explained
Padding — foam vs cotton: High-density foam gives the best protection and holds its shape, which is why it is used in match-grade gloves. Cotton-filled padding is softer and cheaper but flattens faster, so it suits practice and tennis-ball cricket.
Palm — leather vs synthetic: A leather palm offers the best grip and feel and moulds to your hand over time, making it the choice for serious leather-ball players. A quality synthetic palm is more affordable, dries faster and still grips well — a great all-round option for club and practice use.
Types of batting gloves
Sausage-finger gloves use full, rounded foam rolls across every finger for maximum protection, ideal for hard, bouncy pitches and facing genuine pace.
Split-finger gloves use segmented padding for more wrist and finger flexibility, suiting players who want a lighter, more mobile feel on truer, lower-bounce surfaces.
Who these batting gloves are for
Our gloves suit everyone from junior players picking up the bat for the first time to senior club and match cricketers facing genuine pace. We offer youth sizes for younger players and full-size men's gloves for adults and taller teens, in a range of colourways to match your kit.
How to choose the right batting gloves
Look for three things: protection (foam and finger bolstering suited to your level of cricket), grip (a tacky, durable palm that holds the handle), and fit (gloves that feel snug without restricting your hands). CBP gloves are designed to balance all three so you can play your shots freely with full protection.
Caring for your batting gloves
Air them out after every session and let them dry naturally away from direct heat, never on a radiator. Avoid machine washing, as it breaks down the foam and palm; instead spot-clean and let them breathe between games to keep them fresh and long-lasting.
