Maintaining Your Cricket Gloves Through the Season

Cricket gloves absorb sweat, dust, and constant friction, so neglect shows up quickly. After every session, open the gloves fully and let them air out in a cool, dry place. Avoid stuffing them into a sealed bag while damp. That is the fastest way to shorten their life and ruin comfort. For batting gloves, clean the palm gently and keep the inside dry. For wicketkeeping gloves, pay special attention to the palm surface and inner lining so grip and shape stay consistent. Five extra minutes after practice can keep your gloves usable for far longer than most players expect.
