David Warner has been reunited with his baggy green cap which had gone missing ahead of his farewell Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground against Pakistan. The baggy green cap was found packed in a bag at the Australian cricket team's hotel in Sydney, Cricket Australia said.Warner made the confirmation of him reuniting with his baggy green cap on Instagram in a video."I'm pleased and relieved that I have got my baggy (green cap) back in my hands," he said. "Any cricketer knows how special their cap is and I'll cherish this for the rest of my life."Very grateful to all those involved in locating it: the Qantas team, the freight company, the hotel and our own team management."It's a load off my shoulders … I really appreciate it, so thank you all."Cricket Australia said they are unsure how the cap made its way to the team hotel."The bag in which they were packed was found at the team hotel [in Sydney], with all the contents inside," CA said in a statement. "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."Warner, who used a replacement baggy green during Australia's first innings in Sydney, had issued a passionate plea for the return of the cap."A couple of days ago, our bags got freighted via Qantas. We've gone through CCTV footage, they've got some blind spots apparently," he said. "We spoke to the Quay 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 green."It's sentimental to me, it's something I would love to have back in my hands walking out there come this week."Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had also publicly asked for Warner's baggy green to be returned.
