No matter what type of cricket you play, either at a national level or in school or state level, etc, hands are apparently the body parts which are most prone to acute injuries. During fielding, incidents are pretty common. The maximum hand and finger damage occurs while batting when a miss-timed shot event in the ball ceases the hand across the handle of the bat. Hence, it goes without even saying that cricket batting gloves are important to provide batsmen with enough protection to avoid injury and trigger confidence.

In recent times, the limelight on the making of gloves has been clouded by what kind of material has been used on the palm of the gloves. The major part of the gloves in the market provides leather palm gloves, but there are many different varieties of leather used and the type of it banks on the price range of the glove.
