Wicket keepers wear big gloves to protect their hands from the impact of the fast-moving cricket ball, especially when bowled by fast bowlers. The gloves provide additional padding and help them to grip the ball securely when attempting catches or stumping the batsman.
I think you mean wicket keeper. He is a fielder that stands behind the wickets with a pair of gloves in cricket. He can stump people and catches the ball when it goes past the batsman

No,it is called Wicket-keeper
The wicket-keeper in the sport of cricket is the player on the fielding side who stands behind the wicket or stumps being guarded by the batsman currently on strike. The wicket-keeper is the only member of the fielding side permitted to wear gloves and external leg guards. The wicket-keeper may also wear a helmet with a mesh face guard to help protect from injury.It is essentially a specialist role although a keeper is occasionally called upon to bowl, in which case another member of the fielding side temporarily keeps wicket. The role of the keeper is governed by Law 40 of the Laws of Cricket.
