Best Answer

The number is located on the shirt beneath the England or Australian emblem, of every player. The number is allocated for each player that represents his country, earning his cap in the olden days. These numbers date back to 1876 where Tom Armitage from England received the first cap number for England. The test match was England vs. Australia.

Every country has his own set of cap numbers, which is allocated to their players that have represented them in international cricket.

The player keeps this number for eternity, as it was allocated to his name.
