Measure around the palm and from the start of the wrist to the tip of the longest finger, then compare both measurements with the glove maker's chart. Kookaburra's chart lists seven sizes and advises a snug fit with a secured wristband.
Measure both the palm circumference and wrist-to-fingertip length, then use the chart for the exact glove. Kookaburra publishes the following guide for its batting and wicketkeeping gloves.
Kookaburra glove size chart

The published chart does not list a range between Adult and Oversize Adult. If either measurement falls in that gap, use the maker’s current size guidance for the exact glove.
