David Warner has appealed on social media for the
return of the rucksack that held his baggy green cap. The backpack
vanished during the trip from Melbourne to Sydney in the days leading up to his
last Test match.
This week, Warner will play his last Test match at the
SCG, and he is eager to have his cap back.
“Hi all, this is my last resort,” he wrote
on Instagram, alongside a video, “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. @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.”
“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 in the video.
“I think there should be a countrywide search
right now from the Australian Government,” Pakistan captain Shan Masood
said. “We might need the best of detectives to get that back.
“Because he’s been a great ambassador and he
deserves every bit of respect and every bit of celebration for his unbelievable
career. He’s an example to openers. And just personally I love watching him bat
and love watching him play.”
Nick Hockley, the Cricket Australia CEO, said: “I
implore anyone with information about the location of Dave’s bag and baggy
green caps to come forward so he can proudly wear his cap for a final time at
the SCG.”
