David Warner has issued a desperate plea for the return of his baggy green, which he says was stolen on the eve of his final Test.

Warner took to Instagram on Tuesday to say his backpack, containing his baggy green, had gone missing in transit between Melbourne and Sydney this week.

“Unfortunately somebody has taken my backpack out of my luggage which had my backpack and my girls’ presents in there,” Warner said ahead of the SCG Test against Pakistan.

“Inside this backpack was my baggy green. It’s sentimental to me. It’s something I’d love to have in my hands walking out there this week.

“If it’s the backpack you really wanted, I have a spare one here. You won’t get into trouble.

“Please reach out to Cricket Australia or myself via my social media. I’m happy to give this to you if you return my baggy greens.”

The retiring Warner said he had spoken with Qantas about the situation.

“A couple of days ago our bags got freighted via Qantas. We’ve gone through CCTV footage, they’ve got some blind spots apparently,” Warner said.

“We’ve spoken to the Quay West hotel, who we absolutely trust, they’ve gone through their cameras and no one has gone into our rooms.

“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 you.

“I would be grateful if these were returned asap.”
