dc.description.abstract	Cricket has been hailed as a "gentleman's game" since it was first played. The protection of players has become a major issue in recent seasons. Since the prevalence of information about concussions has grown, more and more athletes are donning protective gear. A rise in helmet use has been seen in skiing, snowboarding, and cycling, not only during official events. The helmet's popularity has grown over the last four decades, although it is still not required equipment for a batter. The need for safety standards and constraints to avoid such accidents has been emphasized due to the rising number of tournaments, the introduction of new game forms, and the development of improved modalities for injury diagnosis. The risks associated with cricket are lower than those of contact sports like ice hockey and American football. However, recent cases of head injuries disprove this theory and call for an investigation into the improved design and stricter usage of safety devices. A non-contact sport like cricket raises more concerns than it does answers when it comes to the risk of brain damage. Some people are beginning to doubt the helmet's efficacy as a safety measure after recent fatalities involving helmet-wearers. In this study, we worked on finding a new helmet design suitable for preventing sudden head injuries and a compatible material for the helmet shell to reduce the weight of the helmet as well reduce the impact on the head.	en_US
