Gray-Nicolls Players Cricket Batting Gloves

Gray-Nicolls Players Cricket Batting Gloves

The Gray-Nicolls Players Cricket Batting Gloves are premium cricket batting gloves built for cricketers who want maximum protection, comfort and bat control.

Used by Australian international Travis Head, these gloves are well suited to players who want top level protection without compromising touch or comfort.

Elite Protection with Outstanding Feel

The Players model sits at the top-end of the Gray-Nicolls batting glove range, combining advanced protection with the flexibility experienced batters expect. The pre curved full sausage finger design follows the natural shape of your hand, helping reduce fatigue while maintaining control through every shot.

An 18 section construction works with Fibreshield inserts, carbon fibre reinforcement on the lead finger and a super flex two piece thumb to absorb impact in key areas. This level of protection is especially valuable when facing genuine pace, while still allowing the hands to move naturally around the bat handle.

A premium sheep leather palm provides excellent grip and feel, while the added wear patch improves durability in high contact areas. Fine mesh elasticised gussets promote airflow and flexibility, while dual sided sweatbands help keep hands comfortable during long periods at the crease in warm New Zealand conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between split finger and sausage finger batting gloves?

Sausage finger gloves, like the Gray-Nicolls Players model, use a continuous finger roll design that traditionally provides a more solid protective feel. Split finger batting gloves feature segmented finger rolls that improve flexibility and freedom of movement when gripping the bat. Both styles offer excellent protection in modern cricket. The best choice comes down to personal preference and comfort.

Should I wear batting inners with my cricket batting gloves?

It is ultimately down to personal preference with how it feels, however, batting inners are one of the easiest ways to improve comfort and extend the life of your cricket batting gloves. They create a barrier between your hands and the glove, helping absorb sweat before it reaches the palm and internal padding. Many club and representative cricketers use batting inners during both training and matches, particularly in warm conditions.
