<P> The act of awarding a cap is now international and is applied to other sports . Although in some sports physical caps may not now always be given ( whether at all or for each appearance ) the term `` cap '' for an international or other appearance has been retained as an indicator of the number of occasions on which a sportsperson has represented a team in a particular sport .
