Are there any kind of "mini wicket keeping gloves" out there?
« on: August 05, 2017, 05:01:22 AM »


I am looking for something super light and small - more like a mini version of a full size gloves.

Protection is really not the prime concern, so those traditional clunky and bulky and extended gloves won't do.

Wicket keeping gloves come in Colts sizes, they just aren't that common.

GN do WK gloves down to boys size, and as part of a set including pads they offer small boys, extra small boys and extra extra small boys.

What do you need them for? Would fielding gloves work?

Actually I did find something online, and wonder if County cricket market these in UK instead of Australia?

Is there anyone on this forum from County Cricket?

They are an indoor glove, not used for leather cricket balls.

Yeah I know.
Myself and a group have started a free cricket training camp for local American school kids here in the United States.

We started them with "heavy tennis balls". These are Indian made tennis balls but they weigh almost the same as regulation cricket balls.
These are hallow from inside but have a thick wall.

I was thinking perhaps these gloves may suit in keeping the wickets for such balls?
