What do the rules of cricket say?
According to MCC rules, no fielder except the wicketkeeper can wear gloves or anything like that. Also, anything to protect hands or fingers must be worn only with the consent of the umpire. While fielding, the ball can be stopped with any part of the body, but it is against the rules to stop or catch the ball with any other ‘thing’.
