Australia’s Test captain Pat Cummins has lost his iconic "baggy green" cap during the ongoing tour of the West Indies.

 

According to reports, the cap was misplaced in Bridgetown just 24 hours before the start of the first Test of the series.

 

Ahead of the series opener, Cummins was seen wearing a new baggy green during a trophy photoshoot with his Caribbean counterpart, Roston Chase. However, when the match began, he was spotted with his old cap, which he had received back in 2011.

 

Cummins later confirmed that the new cap he wore the day before had gone missing and, as of the latest updates, it has not been found.

 

This is not the first time an Australian player has lost a baggy green. Last year, former opener David Warner’s Baggy Green went missing before the New Year’s Test. A nationwide search was launched, but the cap was eventually found in his own luggage.

 

Australia and the West Indies will face each other in the second Test, starting Thursday in St George’s.
