Shop cricket batting pads from leading brands including Gray-Nicolls, Kookaburra, GM, DSC, New Balance and more. Whether you're buying junior batting pads for a developing cricketer or premium lightweight pads for elite competition, Cricket Warehouse has options to suit every level of the game.
Batting pads should fit so that the player's knee sits as close as possible to the center of the knee roll (or knee pocket on the rear of the pad). This ensures the pad moves naturally with the leg when running between wickets and moving at the crease.
If the knee sits too low within the knee roll, the pad can act like a splint, restricting natural movement and making running uncomfortable. If the knee sits too high, there may be insufficient protection around the knee joint, increasing the risk of injury from an impact.
When trying on batting pads, the knee should sit centrally within the knee roll while standing in a comfortable batting stance. A variation of a centimeter or two is generally acceptable, but for optimal protection and freedom of movement, the closer the knee is to the center of the knee roll, the better the fit.
Choosing the right batting pads is about more than just protection. The correct fit improves comfort, confidence and movement at the crease. Our team can help you select the right size and protection level for your game, whether you're shopping online or in-store.
