The jockstrap/cup combination is one of the most essential pieces of equipment for cricket. These pieces protect the sensitive parts of the body from the hard hitting cricket ball, which can reach 80mph. These types are easy to find and affordable. Whether you're just starting out, or looking to improve your game, you'll want to invest in jockstraps.
Tennis bat
Consider purchasing a tennis ball as a cricket bat. It is important to take into account the weight and type of your bat. The best bat type to buy depends on your style and ability. Intermediates can choose from English or Kashmir poplar wonow bats. Lightweight and flexible bats are best for intermediates.
A cricket bat must have a strong grip. This helps prevent the bat's sliding down during play. Also, this version requires a lighter weight tennis bat.
Stumps
There are many kinds of stumps available for cricket equipment. There are wooden stumps with springs that return to their original position after a strike, and there are also spring-return wickets that have three stumps on a heavy metal base. Wooden stumps are available in two basic colors, yellow and brown.
The stumps for cricket are made of wooden and have a shape similar to a U. They are used to keep the balls in place and make the wicket. They are typically made of wood and spiked at one end to allow them to be inserted in the ground. A wicket is formed by three stumps. The middle stump is located in the middle.
Helmet
The early 20th century saw the development of the cricket helmet. It is now considered a mandatory safety equipment for cricketers. It can either be made from a hard plastic shell or foam. The helmet can also be worn for batting, bowling and catch. It protects the players against dangerous objects.
There are many materials that can be used to make cricket helmets, such as ABS plastic, high-density foam and fibreglass. They come with a chin belt and an outer impact-resistant shell. They all comply with current ICC safety regulations.
Abdominal guard
An abdominal protector is essential equipment in cricket. It protects the abdominal from the impact of a ball. A cricketer who plays in the close field, such as a wicketkeeper, can suffer a severe injury if the ball accidentally hits his pelvis.
It can be worn under a jockstrap or compression shorts. While they are more cost-effective, the latter might not provide sufficient protection. An abdominal guard with an adjustable strap is an option for athletes.
Jockstrap with cup pocket
Extra protection is provided for your private parts by a cricket jockstrap that has a cup pocket. The cup is usually made of steel or hard plastic and has ventilation holes. These cups are worn by those who hit the ball hard during a game. The cup can also be inserted into jockstrap style underwear as protection.
Jockeystraps were originally only for bicycle jockeys as they were susceptible to torsion injuries. Other sportsmen started to use jockstraps to protect themselves during athletic competitions. Jockstraps got their current name. The idea of covering the genital areas with protective clothing dates back to ancient loincloths or medieval codpieces.
