In the crucial T20 World Cup match against India, Ireland’s wicketkeeper Mary Waldron landed on the ground wearing a suicide helmet. If Waldron is accidentally hit by a ball in this helmet, then his life can be lost. India landed against Ireland in an important World Cup match on Monday. This match is very big for India, because from this match its semi-final ticket will be confirmed. After winning the toss, India got down to bat first.
During this, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the helmet of the Irish wicketkeeper, which did not meet any safety standards. The Irish wicketkeeper’s bat is completely open from behind. Whereas since 2014, every wicketkeeper in the world tries to wear a full cover helmet, so that he remains safe even after being hit by the ball.

Use of bottom cover helmet
In fact, in 2014, Australian wicketkeeper Phil Hughes died after being hit by the ball. Since then, wicketkeepers started using helmets that cover the back of the ear, but the Irish wicketkeeper came to the field wearing a new version. However, she did not come wearing a unique helmet only in this match. She has been using such helmets for a long time.
