Aussie cricket legend Greg Chappell has revealed one of his baggy green caps has gone missing from storage, prompting a call for a large-scale search similar to the one to find David Warner’s last summer.

Although better known for rocking the iconic terry towelling baggies or the wide-brim hat, the middle Chappell brother told the Cricket Et Al podcast he discovered his baggy green was missing when he moved back to Adelaide.

He stopped short of suggesting it had been stolen.

“We had stuff in storage for about 10 years or so,” he told renowned Australian cricket journalists Gideon Haigh and Peter Lalor.

“When we moved back to Adelaide, we brought everything out of storage and I was expecting to find that baggy green cap, but it didn’t appear.

“I don’t know what happened to it. I wouldn’t like to cast aspersions, but it went into storage, but it doesn’t seem to have come out.”

It prompted a shocked Lalor to call for “an Australia-wide search, like there was for David Warner’s”.

Warner posted a desperate plea to Instagram after his two caps went missing on the eve of his final Test for Australia in Sydney in January.

Staff from Qantas and the hotels the Australian team were staying at in both Melbourne and Sydney scoured CCTV to find the missing backpack the two hats were in.

They eventually turned up among other Australian luggage. It remains a mystery if it was there the whole time, or possibly removed and replaced as part of a prank by a teammate.

Chappell said he doesn’t surround himself with much of his memorabilia, but was “disappointed” to be without the cap.

“It was a period of my life I enjoyed hugely and I’m quite proud of, but I don’t want to be surrounded by it,” he said.

Chappell said he still has several of the wide-brim hats he became known for later in his career.

Considered one of Australia’s greatest ever batters, Chappell scored 24 centuries in 87 Tests for Australia in the 1970s and ’80s. He played several with brothers Trevor and Ian.
