Australian opener David Warner has made an emotional public appeal after his backpack went missing ahead of his farewell Test in Sydney against Pakistan. The backpack had Warner’s ‘Baggy Green’ – Australian Test cap. He has urged anyone who has it to return it to him.
David Warner took to social media on Tuesday, January 2 to share a video, appealing to the people. In the video, he expressed that his backpack which had a baggy green was missing. He has a lot of emotions attached to the Cap as he is set to bring the curtains down on his Test career. David Warner said in his plea,
“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. That is sentimental to me. It’s something I would love to have back in my hands, walking out there come this week.”
“If it’s the backpack you wanted, I have a spare one here. You won’t get into any trouble I’m happy to give this to you if you return my baggy greens,” he added.
