David Warner Makes Public Plea After Baggy Green Cap Stolen Ahead of Final Test in Sydney

David Warner has made a plea for the return of backpack containing his baggy green cap which went missing while his bags were in transit between Melbourne and Sydney ahead of his final Test.

Warner will retire from Test cricket following the conclusion of the third Test between Australia and Pakistan staring Wednesday at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Sharing a video on Instagram, Warner detailed the incident.

“Hi all, this is my last resort but my backpack, which contained my Baggy Green, has been taken from my luggage, which was transported to Melbourne airport and flown on @qantas to Sydney a few days ago,” Warner wrote.

“@qantas have said they checked their cameras and have not seen anyone open our bags and take the backpack, however they do have blind spots. If you are the person, who was either working for the company driving it to and from the airport or working for @qantas and have, by chance, just wanted the backpack, I have one for. I would be grateful if this were returned asap. Thanks,” he added.

Warner said he will give the backpack to whoever returns his baggy greens.

“Please reach out to Cricket Australia or myself via my social media and I’m happy to give this to you if you return my baggy greens,” Warner added.

Meanwhile, Australia Test captain Pat Cummins has paid rich tributes to the retiring Warner who he says ‘changed Test cricket’.

“I think everyone will think of him in their own way,” Cummins said on Tuesday. “Personally I think of him when he first came on the scene and really changed Test cricket. He was striking at over 70 which is unheared of, especially for an opening batter, averaging 40 or 50. That’s the Davey I remember – walking out there and taking the game away from the opposition in the space of an hour or two, and doing it for over a decade.

“His longevity is something that gets overlooked. Just the bulk of cricket he’s played over the last 12-13 years is pretty much more than anyone else in the world. Every time he walks out there, he’s competitive and ready to go. Just a champion of Australian sport. Hopefully he gets a good send off this week,” he added.
