AUS vs PAK: David Warner loses Baggy Green cap ahead of farewell Test, makes emotional public plea

Australia veteran David Warner came up with an emotional public appeal after losing his backpack that had Australia Test Cap. He took to social media platforms to appeal the news that he lost his green cap which is called Baggy Green before his farewell Test match. He urged that whoever found the bag return it to him.

Warner will play the 3rd and final Test of the ongoing series between Pakistan and Australia at his home ground Sydney as he is set to bring the curtains down on his decorated career.

The 37-year-old opener said his prized possessions went missing during a transit from Melbourne to Sydney in the lead-up to his farewell Test. Stressing that the public plea was his last resort, Warner said that he managed to check the CCTV footage of his team hotel and the airline QANTAS without much luck.

Warner urged the public to help him find his missing Baggy Green and said the person returning it won’t be in trouble. He urged the person to get in touch with Cricket Australia or the airline and even offered another piece of his backpack.

“Unfortunately, someone has taken my backpack out of my actual luggage, which had my backpack and my girls’ presents in there. Inside this backpack was my Baggy Greens. That is sentimental to me, it’s something I would love to have back in my hands, walking out there come this week,” Warner said in his plea.

“If it’s the backpack you wanted, I have a spare one here. You won’t get into any troubleâ€æ I’m happy to give this to you if you return my baggy greens.”

David Warner announced his ODI retirement on New Year’s Day. Warner is hopeful that he finds the prized Baggy Green before he walks out to bat in the farewell Test match starting January 3.

Warner will bid an emotional goodbye to Test cricket in the series finale in Sydney. He will be absent from the longer formats of the game but will continue to feature in T20I cricket.

David Warner is looking forward to playing more franchise-based T20 cricket and gearing up for the T20 World Cup later in the year. However, he confirmed that he will be available for the Champions Trophy 2025 if the team needs his services.

“I know there’s a Champions Trophy coming up and if I’m playing decent cricket still in two years’ time, and they need someone, I’m going to be available,” Warner said.
