One of the most prominent cricket competitions in the world, the ICC Champions Trophy, has a special and eagerly awaited tradition: the white jacket. In keeping with a tradition that dates back to 2009, the victorious team will receive the trophy and the coveted white jacket when the final between india and new zealand takes place in Dubai.

The White Jacket tradition
 
As a mark of distinction, the white jacket was first worn for the trophy presentation in 2009.  According to the ICC, the white jacket is a "badge of honor adorned by champions," signifying tenacity, tactical skill, and a successful cricketing legacy.  It is a symbol of success only given to players with great talent and good sportsmanship.

A Sign of Legacy and Tactical Mastery
 
The international cricket Council (ICC) claims that the white jacket represents the unwavering quest for tactical excellence and a tradition that motivates cricket players for years to come.  A voyage of success, sacrifice, and triumph in one of the most difficult cricket tournaments is symbolized by the jacket, which is more than just a piece of apparel.

Babita M, a designer from Mumbai, created the original white coats.  The jackets are made from high-quality Italian wool and include gold braiding to make players stand out.  These distinctive, opulent jackets have solidified their significance in cricket history by becoming a visual representation of the ICC Champions Trophy.
