''"That all players taking part for England in future international matches be presented with a white silk cap with red rose embroidered on the front. These to be termed International Caps."'' Actual caps are not usually given anymore (caps for friendly matches still exist, and each player gets one cap per international competition), but the term "cap" for an international appearance has been retained. Thus, a cap is awarded for each game played and so a player who has played ''x'' games, for the team, is said to have been ''capped x'' times or have won ''x'' caps. The world record holder for the highest number of international caps on January 24, 2006 is American Kristine Lilly , who has over 300 caps in women's association football. In men's association football, the record is held by Mexican Claudio Suárez who has 174. In Rugby Union , the record is held by Australian George Gregan who has 118 caps. In Rugby League , this record is held by the New Zealand Warriors captain, Ruben Wiki , who has 50 caps.In Cricket the most number of test caps belongs to former Australian cricket captain Steve Waugh who has 168 caps.
