New Balance Heritage 1000 Max Cricket Gloves (2027)

The New Balance Heritage 1000 Max cricket gloves are a protective batting glove for players who want solid defence for the lead hand and a comfortable, secure fit at the crease.

The sausage finger design is paired with block splits, giving a well-protected feel through the fingers. The two lead fingers get extra attention, with plastic inserts plus plastic shields on two panels, so the fingers taking the most punishment have added cover. A sidebar protects the lead hand too, which is a welcome touch when the ball is coming through quickly.

Comfort has been thought through as well. The palm is made from premium sheep leather backed with crosslink foam padding, while the double-sided elasticated sweatband helps keep the glove snug on the wrist. A high grade stretchable and ventilated gusset lets the hand move freely and breathe during long innings.

If you are looking for cricket gloves from New Balance that put protection first without feeling clumsy, the Heritage 1000 Max is well worth a look for your next season of batting.
