10 Cricket accessories and protective gears

6. Thigh Pad:

Thigh guard is a lightweight piece of equipment worn on the outside of the thing on the side exposed to the bowler, for protection against balls keeping low and potentially causing injury or bruises, especially when coming at a quick pace. Two straps, one around the waist, and one around the inner thigh, hold the guard in place. It, too, isn’t used as much by batsmen, because of the prospects of nagging caused by it.
