A relieved David Warner took to social media early
this morning to confirm that he has finally retrieved his original Baggy Green
that was missing, four days after it was originally reported.
The original backpack that was missing had two caps that
belonged to Warner, one of which was the one he received on his debut Test in
Sydney way back in 2011. While the bag was found in the Australian team hotel
in Sydney, it still remains a mystery as to how it found its way in the team
hotel. However, none of it will matter to Warner as he has found what he
believes to be “a part of him”.
“Hi everyone, I am very pleased and relieved to
let you all know that my baggy greens have been found, which is great
news,” he wrote alongside the video. “Thanks to all involved and I am
extremely grateful. Qantas, the freight company, our hotels and team
management. Thanks [sic] you.
In the video he added: “Any cricketer knows how
special their cap is and I will cherish this for the rest of my life.”
A Cricket Australia spokesperson said: “The bag
in which they were packed was found at the team hotel, with all the contents
inside. The movements of the missing bag are unknown despite extensive searches
and the review of CCTV footage at multiple locations and the efforts of
numerous parties since Tuesday.”
In his earlier video where he reported the missing
cap, Warner had assured of no trouble in the event that someone had actually taken
away the backpack which contained the cap. He was seen using a cap that was
loaned for purposes of photographs as well as when Australia took the field on
the first day.
“It’s a huge relief David’s cap has been located
and a big thank you to everyone who was involved in the search,” Nick
Hockley, the CA CEO said. “We really appreciate it.”
