For example, its protective fibre Kevlar is in use in cricket bats, pads and gloves providing stiffness and shock-absorption properties without adding weight, while neoprene has a role to play in the grips on many of the players’ bats.
Nylon and Supplex are part of the material mix in a number of the shirts and trousers teams will wear at the event, while some cricket jerseys will have been treated with Teflon for water-, stain- and pill-resistance.
The competition will reach its conclusion at the final in Melbourne on March 29.
