Collection: Cricket Abdominal Guards
A
cricket abdominal guard or cricket box is one of the most important items of protective kit that can be worn by a cricketer. It is essentially a strong piece of plastic shaped like a cup, which is designed to protect the groin/pelvic region from any unfortunate blows. With the potential of facing deliveries that travel up to speeds of 90mph, batting without this protective gear would be nothing short of silly.
A cricket abdominal guard has several names. The most common, which we’ve already covered is the cricket box. They can also be called an ‘L’ guard (L stands for lower), compression cup, or abdo guard. This kind of protection isn’t just limited to cricket, similar guards are used in sports such as hockey and MMA.
