Wicket Keeping Pads

ZAP wicket keeping pads are specialist leg guards for movement behind the stumps. The Instinct Wicket Keeping Pad uses a lightweight foam-based structure with adjustable straps, knee-roll padding, a padded instep and a vertical bolster.

How Wicket Keeping Pads Differ from Batting Pads

Keeping pads are shaped around repeated crouching, lateral movement and quick changes of direction. Batting pads generally use broader frontal coverage for facing deliveries, so the two categories should not be treated as interchangeable.

Wicket Keeping Pad FAQs

Do wicket keeping pads have a left and right version?

The current Instinct product is listed as one product option rather than separate left/right variants.
