Unlike many Australian legends who proudly wear their original Baggy Green until it falls apart, Cummins decided to retire his old one after 68 Tests and start the ongoing West Indies tour with the custom-made new Baggy Green cap.
However, the captain got the approval from Cricket Australia, but things took a strange turn. Cummins proudly wore the new cap during the official pre-series photo shoot with the West Indies skipper Roston Chase. But by the time he walked out for the toss, it had mysteriously vanished.
Despite serious efforts, Cummins’ prized Baggy Green cap couldn’t be found. With no other option, the Australian skipper was forced to bring his old, worn-out Baggy Green back into action. He was seen wearing his old cap at the toss in the first Test against the West Indies.
Pat Cummins becomes the latest victim after David Warner and Greg Chappell
Interestingly, Cummins isn’t the first Australian cricketer to experience this kind of mishap. Last year, David Warner made headlines when his Baggy Green went missing after his luggage was stolen, and he made a public plea to return his special cap. Before Warner, Greg Chappell had a similar heartbreak when his cap disappeared from a Brisbane storage facility.
