Prototype Helmet Unveiled

A British manufacturer has unveiled a new cricket helmet designed to prevent another tragic death like that of Phillip Hughes. The prototype, created by Hampshire-based company Masuri, features a clip-on "StemGuard" made of plastic and military-specification foam that protects the back of the neck. Masuri began investigating a possible redesign after Hughes' death and design consultant Alan Meeks believes the new attachment is strong enough to prevent serious injury, but light enough so as to not distract or inhibit batsmen.     -- Internet
