Anti - reflective / Glare strips
West Indies cricketer Shivnarine Chanderpaul began wearing anti-refelctive strips under his eyes (black patches or black marks) since 2005.
It is the same as you see with players in American football & Baseball, and was commonly used before sunglasses to help keep the sun out of players eyes.
These strips bear the brand name like an advertising space. Anti-glare patches are supposed to reduce light entering the peripheral area of the eyes.
Players can use anti-glare patches, but not with brands or logos
Currently, mobile phone company Digicel owns the rights to the space on each of Chanderpaul's cheeks.
The West Indies' left-hander Shivnarine Chanderpaul was not allowed to display branded anti-glare patches beneath his eyes during the ICC cricket World Cup 2011 played in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
Another, West Indian who uses anti-glare patches is Narsingh Deonarine.
