If you’ve already got your bat and ball sorted, it’s time to gear up with the must-have accessories that can take your game to the next level. Whether you’re playing competitively or casually, the right accessories can improve your performance and keep you safe.
At CrickGear, we offer all the essentials—and more. Here’s a quick guide to the Top 5 cricket accessories every player should have.
1. Batting Gloves
Batting gloves protect your hands from vibration and impact while offering grip and comfort.
Look for:
- Padded protection (especially for fingers)
- Breathable material to reduce sweat
- Durable palm grip
2. Cricket Helmet
Safety first! A good helmet is essential when facing fast bowlers.
Key Features:
- Strong grill for face protection
- Adjustable straps for secure fit
- Lightweight design for comfort during long innings
3. Abdominal Guard (Box)
A small but critical piece of protective gear, the abdominal guard absorbs impact in sensitive areas.
Make sure it:
- Fits snugly in its pouch
- Is made from hard ABS plastic
- Is used with cricket briefs or jockstraps
4. Kit Bag
Don’t just carry your gear—organize it.
Why it matters:
- Dedicated compartments for bat, gloves, shoes, and more
- Wheels or backpack-style for easy transport
- Water-resistant options for all-weather play
5. Bat Grip & Maintenance Kit
Over time, your bat grip will wear out. Keeping a spare grip and maintenance tools (like bat oil, mallet, and edge tape) helps preserve your bat’s lifespan.
Pro tip: A well-maintained bat = consistent performance.
Bonus Accessories Worth Having
- Arm & thigh guards
- Grip cone for easier grip replacement
- Cricket socks for better foot comfort
