David Warner‘s baggy greens have been stolen and the retiring Australian Test opener has pleaded for his cherished possessions to be returned.
The 37-year-old posted a desperate video message on Instagram on Tuesday, revealing a backpack with his baggy greens — the iconic cap worn by Australian Test cricketers — had been stolen ahead of his final Test.
“Unfortunately this is my last resort to do this, but a couple of days ago our bags got freighted by Qantas,” Warner said ahead of the SCG Test, beginning on Wednesday.
“We’ve gone through CCTV footage. They’ve got some blind spots apparently.
We’ve spoken to the Key West Hotel, who we absolutely trust, and have gone through their cameras — no one’s come into our rooms.
But 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. It’s sentimental to me. It’s something that I would love to have back in my hands walking out there come this week.
“If it’s the backpack that you really wanted, I have a spare one here. You won’t get into trouble.
“Please reach out to Cricket Australia or myself via my social media, and I am happy to give this to you if you return my baggy greens.”
