According to the traditional aspect of the
game, white was considered a symbol of
royalty and elegance by the British, and since cricket is considered to be a gentleman's game, it made sense to choose white as the uniform for the players. Also, it creates a sense of equality among all players.
This can help in reducing the stress level of the players and also prevents them from getting sunstroke or dehydration to some extent. It also helps in getting a good view of the red
ball in the field. The pink ball came into
use recently.
Secondly, test cricket often requires the
players to stay on the field for over 8 hours
each day, which goes for 5 days, making it
even more demanding. White clothing reflects heat better and can be more comfortable to wear in the heat than any other colour.
In ICC cricket world cup 2011, India became
the first team to win a Cricket World Cup on Home Soil. After India, Australia and England were the other two teams to win a home World cup in 2015 and 2019 respectively.
