Clothing:


Clothing in cricket  includes a tshirt with long or full sleeves and the color of the t shirt depends upon the format of the game, long trousers, cap, shoes with proper spikes. The kit used is generally white if the format of the game is test match and coloured if the format of the game is T-20 or ODI match .

Equipment:


Some of the players including the batsman , wicket keeper and some fielders who stay silly point (Fielding position which is close to batsman) require extra equipment because they have higher risk of injuries because of the hardness of the ball. Mostly the batsman and the wcket keeper requires extra equipment because the bowler delivers the bowl sometimes at 80mph, sometimes at 90mph and sometimes even at 100mph and at that particular time if the ball hits the body then there will occour serious injuries. The extra equipments include pads(designed protects the knees), gloves to protect hands, safety helmet(designed to protect head) and small pad to protect the crotch area.Some batsmen wear additional padding inside their shirts and trousers such as thigh pads, arm pads, rib protectors and shoulder pads. The only fielders allowed to wear protective gear are those in positions very close to the batsman but they cannot wear gloves or external leg guards.
