Xtra Time Web Desk: Australian cricketer David Warner, set to retire from Test cricket after the ongoing series against Pakistan, has made an emotional plea for the return of his backpack containing his cherished baggy green cap. The bag reportedly went missing during the transit of Warner’s belongings between Melbourne and Sydney, adding a layer of distress to the veteran batsman’s farewell series.
Warner, a key figure in Australian cricket, took to social media to appeal to the public for assistance in locating his missing belongings. The baggy green cap holds immense sentimental value for cricket players, symbolizing their achievements and contributions to the national team. Losing such an iconic piece just before his final Test has undoubtedly left Warner disheartened.
The incident has sparked widespread sympathy and support from fans and fellow cricketers alike. Many have joined Warner in his plea for the safe return of the backpack, understanding the sentimental attachment he has to his baggy green cap.
As Warner prepares for his last Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, the missing bag has become an unexpected and unwelcome distraction. The cricket community is hopeful that the plea will result in the recovery of the cherished item, allowing Warner to focus on his final moments on the field without the shadow of this unfortunate incident looming over his retirement.
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.
