They should have a Cap, of course, but it should have a variation on the Original - perhaps a Gold Band or Gold part? The 'Baggy Green' is iconic, it is unique & it is given to a very select few. Just like the Women Footballers, Women Cricketers deserve their own identity, don't they?

So not sure how it can can all of a sudden be "sacrosanct" or devalue 140 years of cricket when the players themselves have mostly only valued it for 25 years or so

'Surely they are not exactly the same as the mens?
Just devalued 140 years of test cricket if they are the same

No hat has devalued 140 years of cricket. Rubbish comment. However T20 on the other hand.
