Essential Cricket Safety Kit

An abdominal guard is the most important piece of protective equipment in cricket. Whether you're batting, keeping, or fielding close in, an abdo guard absorbs high-velocity impacts that can otherwise cause serious injury. The SS Players Abdo Guard delivers pro-grade protection certified to BS-2:2000 — the same standard used at junior, club, and senior cricket worldwide.

Who It's For

Designed for every cricketer — junior, youth, club, league and senior. Essential safety equipment for batters, wicket-keepers, and close fielders. If you bat, keep, or field within 15 metres of the bat, you need an abdo guard.

Care Instructions

• Wipe clean with a damp cloth after match days.
• Air-dry — never store damp inside a kit bag.
• Store in a cool, dry place — keep with your jock strap / inner shorts.
• Replace if the polymer core shows visible cracks or impact damage.
• Inspect periodically — abdo guards have a finite working life under repeated impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I wear an abdo guard?
The abdo guard slots into a pocket on cricket-specific jock straps, inner shorts, or compression shorts. Never wear it loose — the pocket holds it in place.

What is BS-2:2000?
BS-2:2000 is the British Standard for cricket protective equipment impact performance. Certified abdo guards have been independently tested to absorb specified impact energies — the recognised safety baseline at all levels of cricket.

What size do I need?
Boys for under-12 / U13. Youth for U14 to U16 / growing teens. Men's for senior adult cricketers.

How often should I replace my abdo guard?
Replace if you see visible cracks in the polymer shell, after any significant impact, or every 2–3 seasons of regular use. The polymer fatigues over time even without visible damage.

Can I wash it?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Don't machine-wash, don't soak. Keep dry to prevent the TPE binding from degrading.
