66 What does it means when a cricketer is awarded his cap?

Ian Sowman:
An International Cap is awarded on debut whereas a
county cap may take years on the staff to earn.

Steve Shadbolt:
At county level it is a recognition that the player is
good enough to be a regular 1st team player. Usually
means a pay rise. It in effect means you have passed
your apprenticeship.

Didds:
And the recipient actually gets a cloth county cap.
