Inners are your best bet as long as it doesn't affect how you grip the bat

Don't think you put your gloves in direct sunlight as it can tend to get the leather on the palms a bit hard. Look for a cool spot outdoors, this should do the trick...

PS. I got two seasons out of mine using this process...

That depends on what type of inners you use. For batting use fingerless inners as you can still feel the bat

Wow! You're a cricket retailers dream. I'd be gutted if I didn't 3 seasons out of a pair. Only replaced my last pair as the leather palms were beginning to hum a bit.

Generally my gloves last 2 seasons

But one set did a few nets and 4games. Took them back and had them replaced. The new pair have lasted a season since.
