Australian opener batsman David Warner’s cap, which he was going to wear in the last Test match of his career against Pakistan, has been stolen.
Warner has taken to social media to request the return of his “baggy green” cricket cap, which was stolen from his luggage.
In a video posted on Instagram, Warner said “The bag containing the caps was taken when the Australian team’s equipment was being freighted by an airline between Melbourne and Sydney. Unfortunately, someone took my bag out of my original luggage, which contained my bag and my girls’ gifts and baggy green.”
“It’s emotional for me, it’s something I want to take away from the field this week,” he wrote.
Warner said, “The hotel and Qantas had checked their CCTV footage and had not seen anyone taking the bag, but Qantas’ cameras had blind spots.”
A Qantas Freight spokesman said the team has done whatever they can to help find the bag, our freight teams are continuing to search terminals in Melbourne and Sydney and are reviewing CCTV to locate the missing bag, we understand the importance of this bag and are doing everything we can to help locate it.”
Warner asked whoever took the bag to return the baggy green and keep the bag. “Of course, If that’s the bag you wanted, I’ve got another here.”
“Please contact Cricket Australia or me via my social media and if you return my baggy green I will be happy,” Warner said.
David Warner will play his final Test in Sydney on Wednesday against Pakistan.
