You can wear your cap untill the batsman asks umpire to remove it which can disturb his concentration.

Under the LAW 42 FAIR AND UNFAIR PLAY:

Section 5. Deliberate distraction or obstruction of batsman
In addition to 4 above, it is unfair for any member of the fielding
side, by word or action, wilfully to attempt to distract or to obstruct
either batsman after the striker has received the ball.
+ It is for either one of the umpires to decide whether any
distraction or obstruction is wilful or not.

Slight variation on this one, wicket keepers with red palms to there gloves so some times its tricky to see if they actualy took a ball.

I heard someone say to me the other day that he wears a brightly coloured armband on his other hand to distract the batsman! He may have been joking but i'm not sure

the only problem with a cap is if it blows off during delivery, as if it is hit it will cost you 5 runs, and also may constitute a dead ball, depending at what stage it blows off, i think.

you could turn it round to stop it blowing off, however it tends to get in the way of getting your arm up by your ear.

solution head band or hair cut
