 If the helmet is only being used for overs from one end, it will be placed behind the wicketkeeper when not in use.Some grounds have purpose-built temporary storage in the form of a cavity beneath the pitch, approximately in size, accessed through a hatch flush with the grass, which can be used for storing a helmet, shin pads or drinks for the fielding side.5 penalty runs are awarded to the batting side should the ball touch a fielder's headgear whilst it is not being worn unless the ball previously struck a batsman not attempting to hit or avoid the ball.
