Helmets are nowadays essential not only for batsmen but for close fielders too. They are now in fact compulsory for those under 19 either batting or fielding within 15 yards of the bat. In Twenty20 matches one or two wicket keepers have started to wear the traditional baseball catchers’ mask which is lighter and more easily removed.
