Australian cricket opener David Warner announced on Friday that he has successfully retrieved his baggy green cap, which went missing four days ago during his journey from Melbourne to Sydney before the commencement of the third Test match against Pakistan. The iconic cap, worn by Warner in his Test debut in 2011, was discovered at the team hotel in Sydney, though the circumstances of how it ended up there remain unclear.
In a video shared on his official Instagram account on Friday morning, Warner expressed his relief and gratitude, thanking those who played a role in locating his cherished cap. “Hi everyone, I am very pleased and relieved to let you all know that my baggy greens have been found, which is great news. Thanks to all involved, and I am extremely grateful. Qantas, the freight company, our hotels, and team management. Thank you,” Warner wrote on Instagram.
Warner’s baggy green cap holds significant sentimental value, symbolizing his initiation into Test cricket back in 2011. The unexpected loss had stirred concerns, especially with the impending crucial Test match against Pakistan. The cricketer’s gratitude extended to Qantas, the freight company, the hotels involved, and the team management for their collaborative efforts in locating the prized possession. The recovery brings not only relief to Warner but also serves as a positive prelude to the upcoming match, where he can now don the iconic cap once again, carrying with it the memories of his remarkable cricket journey.
