David Warner's missing Baggy Green Test Cap has been found – although the retired Australian opener has provided no insight into where it was located or who took it in the first place.
Warner is currently playing in his 112th and final Test match for Australia against Pakistan where he made 34 in the first innings.
Earlier, he had launched an emotional appeal on Instagram on Tuesday for the return of his Baggy Green cap.
His prized cap was in a backpack that was lost in transit between Melbourne and Sydney this week.
On Friday morning he announced that the Baggy Green had returned safe and sound.

“Hi everyone, I'm very happy and relieved to let you all know that my baggy greens have been found, which is great news,” he announced on Instagram today.
'Thanks to everyone involved and I am extremely grateful. Qantas, the freight company, our hotels and team management. Thank you.'
It comes after his earlier plea to find the Baggy Green, suggesting the backpack had been stolen.
“Unfortunately, someone took my backpack out of my luggage, which contained my backpack and my girls' presents,” Warner said ahead of the SCG test.
'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.'

However, convicted drug trafficker Schapelle Corby stole some of Warner's attention with a cheeky response to his social media appeal.
'Qantas! Well, I have a story for you,” she posted accompanied by an exploding head emoji.

Corby is known for her high-profile trial and incarceration related to drug trafficking in Indonesia.
Her legal defense team had raised the possibility that a Qantas baggage handler had planted marijuana in her boogie board bag.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was among the high-profile identities who had joined the call to return Warner's Baggy Green.
“And I really hope, it hasn't happened yet, whoever knows anything about the missing caps, David Warner has represented Australia over a hundred times,” he said earlier this week.
'The wide green caps are his. He earned them and they must be returned.”
Teammate Mitch Marsh had jokingly claimed he was the perpetrator.
“I should probably tell him it's been in my backpack for the last few days,” Marsh said.
“A strange situation and it could probably only happen to Davey.”
