Wicketkeeping is about being quick - quick to a wide ball, quick down the leg side, quick into a stumping. The Black Wicket Keeping Pads from Fore Sports are built for that - lightweight, low-profile and engineered for fast movement, while still giving keepers proper protection where they need it.

Built for Speed Behind the Stumps

Keeping pads are different from batting pads on purpose. They're lighter, more flexible, and designed around quick lateral movement rather than running between the wickets. These pads use high-quality construction with soft inner padding to protect against the regular impact of low edges and bouncing balls, without the bulk that would slow you down.

A flexible knee bend is the key feature. When you're crouching for hours behind the stumps, the pad has to move with your knee rather than fight against it. The natural bend of these pads means you can stay in your stance comfortably for full sessions, and explode into a stumping or dive without your kit holding you back.

Premium Velcro straps with reinforced leather patches secure the pads through every dive, stumping and quick recovery. Soft breathable inner padding keeps your legs comfortable across long days in the field, and the sleek black finish gives the pads a sharp, professional look.

FAQs

A: Keeping pads are lighter, slimmer and more flexible than batting pads, with less padding around the knee - designed for the squat-and-rise movement of wicket keeping rather than absorbing direct ball impact. They give better mobility and feel for taking the ball cleanly.
A: We don’t recommend it. Keeping pads have less impact protection than batting pads, especially around the knee, and aren’t built to take the speed of a bowled hardball cricket ball. Batters should always use proper batting pads for full protection.
A: Most leagues and clubs accept coloured keeping pads, especially in limited-overs and white-ball cricket. For traditional red-ball matches, some leagues still prefer white pads - check your league’s specific kit rules. Always allowed in nets and training.
