Product Details
The MCG Sports THRIVE Junior Cricket Batting Gloves deliver real finger protection without bulk — reinforced finger rolls, soft leather palm, and mesh ventilation across the back for cool, comfortable grip-feel through long innings. Sized for ages 5–14 in both right- and left-hand options.
Why These Gloves Work for Juniors
- Reinforced Finger Rolls — High-density foam rolls protect each finger from ball impact — critical when juniors face throw-downs, machine bowling, or competitive overs.
- Soft Leather Palm — Genuine leather palm gives a real cricket feel — grippy, tactile, and durable enough to last a full season of net sessions and matches.
- Mesh Ventilation — Breathable mesh panels on the back keep hands dry and cool through Australian summer cricket.
- Sausage Thumb Protection — Padded thumb roll guards against direct ball impact while keeping thumb mobility for shot-making.
- Adjustable Wrist Strap — Velcro wrist closure dials in a secure fit so the glove doesn't slip on the bat handle.
- Towel Sweat Pad — Built-in sweat wipe on the thumb for between-deliveries comfort.
- Junior-Specific Sizing — Properly proportioned for junior hands — not just smaller adult gloves. Fingers sit correctly so kids can grip the bat handle properly.
Junior Gloves Sizing Guide
| Small Junior | Ages 5–7 — Small hands, fingers reach approx. 12–14 cm tip to wrist |
|---|---|
| Junior | Ages 8–11 — Medium junior hands, approx. 14–16 cm |
| Youth | Ages 12–14 — Larger junior hands, approx. 16–18 cm |
Gloves should fit snugly with finger tips reaching the end of the finger rolls — too much extra space and the gloves slip on the handle.

Care Instructions
- Air-dry gloves after every session — never put them in a sealed kit bag wet.
- Wipe leather palm with a barely damp cloth; avoid soaking the leather.
- Apply leather conditioner sparingly once a season to keep the palm supple.
- Replace if the foam rolls compress permanently — they no longer protect once they've lost their springy density.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should batting gloves fit?
Snug. Finger tips should reach the end of the finger rolls — that way the protection lines up with your child's fingers and the gloves don't twist on the handle. Too loose and the gloves rotate; too tight and circulation suffers.
Why does hand-side matter for gloves?
The right-hand pair is for right-handed batters (the right glove is the bottom hand on the handle); the left-hand pair is mirrored for left-handers. Junior left-handers struggle if given right-hand gloves — the thumb protection ends up on the wrong side.
Real leather palm — does it need conditioning?
Once a season is plenty. A light wipe with leather conditioner keeps the palm soft and grippy. Avoid soaking — too much oil makes the palm slippery and shortens its life.
