Is it permissible for a fielder to wear hand gloves while fielding in cricket due to some climate conditions or infections?

What does the Icc rules and laws of cricket say about this?

No, The rules are very clear, the wicket keeper is the only player allowed to wear gloves. All other players would incur a 5 run penalty every time they touched the ball while wearing gloves. This includes for instance taking off your hat in order to use it to catch the ball
