Ahead of his final Test for the Australian cricket team against Pakistan, David Warner had his focus on something else. In an emotional plea on social media, the star opener revealed that his 'Baggy Green' cap had been stolen. “Unfortunately this is my last resort, to do this,” Warner said in a post on Instagram. "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's 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 really 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."
