This has been happening for the last five years – Sunil Gavaskar
Gavaskar said after the match, players should not be allowed to wear webbing beyond that limit. Otherwise, you can wear gloves. I think, like when a batsman comes out to bat, they check the size of the bat, or when boxers come out to field they check the gloves, the umpires should do the same for this. They should say, ‘Hello! Sorry, you can’t put it there.’
He said, this has been happening for the last five years. Every team has at least one or two fielders who have done this.
