- Play against Pakistan at the SCG
- Will be a farewell match for the retired veteran
- A very important part of the equipment bag is missing
David Warner has made a desperate plea for the return of his baggy green, which he says was stolen on the eve of his final Test.
Warner said on Instagram on Tuesday that his backpack, containing his baggy green bag, had disappeared during transport between Melbourne and Sydney this week.
“Unfortunately, someone took my backpack out of my luggage, which contained my backpack and my girls’ presents,” Warner said ahead of the SCG Test against Pakistan.
‘My baggy green was in this backpack. It’s sentimental to me. It’s something I’d like to have in my hands when I walk around there this week.
“If it’s the backpack you really wanted, I have a spare here. You won’t get into trouble.
‘Please contact Cricket Australia or myself via my social media. I’ll be happy to give you this if you give me back my bags of greens.’

The outgoing Warner said he had spoken to Qantas about the situation.
‘A few days ago our bags were shipped via Qantas. We looked at CCTV footage and apparently they have some blind spots,” Warner said.
‘We have spoken to the Quay West hotel, who we absolutely trust, they have gone through their cameras and no one has entered our rooms.
“If you’re the person who worked for the company that drove him to and from the airport, or worked for @qantas and just happened to want the backpack, I have one for you.
“I would appreciate it if these were returned as soon as possible.”
Schapelle Corby received many likes with her reaction to the Warner news
Schapelle Corby received almost 250 likes when she replied to Warner’s post with the comment: ‘Qantas! Well, I have a story for you,” accompanied by an exploding head emoji.
Corby’s legal defense team raised the possibility that a Qantas baggage handler had planted marijuana in her boogie board bag when she was on trial for smuggling the drug into Indonesia in 2004.
That defense did not work and she was found guilty in 2005.
Daily Mail Australia does not conclude that a Qantas employee was in any way involved with the drug found in Corby’s luggage.
