On Friday, a relieved and appreciative David Warner disclosed that he had found his beloved baggy greens again after the recognizable cap had unexplainably materialized in the team hotel here.

Warner posted on Instagram ahead of the third day of the Australia vs. Pakistan third Test at the SCG to say that his two baggy greens have been located.


"Hey everyone, I'm happy to inform everyone that my baggy greens have been located, as well as relieved.

"Every cricket player understands the significance of that cap, and I will treasure it forever. In a video that he uploaded to Instagram, Warner expressed his gratitude to everyone who helped find it.

"I truly appreciate it because it relieves a burden that has been on my shoulders for the last several days. "Many thanks to everyone who helped, and special thanks to Qantas, the freight company, our hotels, and the team management," he continued.

Cricket Australia released a statement saying, "The bag in which they were packed was found at the team hotel (in Sydney) with all the contents inside." How it got there is still a mystery, though.

"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," said CA.

Warner had earlier this week, while traveling from Melbourne to Sydney, shared an emotional plea on social media for the return of his baggy greens, after the backpack holding the priceless item vanished.

There were two caps in the bag because Warner received a replacement after misplacing his original Baggy Green in 2017.

But Warner's wife had subsequently located the original from his 2011 Test debut.

Warner donned a backup Baggy Green that the team has on hand in case of emergencies for his farewell Test.
