WI vs AUS: Australian captain Pat Cummins lost his new baggy green cap after the first Test against the West Indies in Barbados. Actually, this new cap was prepared for Cummins by Albion. He got his first cap during his debut in 2011, which was now worn out. Therefore, he got a new cap just before the series. Cummins was seen wearing this new cap in a photoshoot with West Indies captain Roston Chase.

But just before the start of the Test, his new cap mysteriously disappeared. At the last moment, he had to wear his old, worn-out cap. Despite this, he left no stone unturned in his bowling. Cummins took three wickets in this Test, and Australia won by 159 runs. In this match, the team saw Cummins playing in the old style, but the lack of a new cap became a topic of discussion.

It is not yet clear where the cap went. Was it left somewhere in the stadium, or did someone mistakenly keep it in the packing? The team is currently in Grenada for the second Test. According to the report, the staff searched everywhere from the hotel to the locker room, but could not find any clue of the new cap.

This is not the first time this has happened. David Warner's baggy green was also stolen years ago. The same incident happened with Greg Chappell. At that time, his cap was also found with great difficulty. In Australian cricket, the baggy green cap is not just a cap. It is a symbol of hard work, tradition and pride of the players. Therefore, losing it is no less than a shock.

Now it has to be seen whether Cummins gets a new cap or not. The Australian board is also keeping an eye on this. Meanwhile, fans are hoping that the captain will get a new cap soon.

In our opinion, this incident may look small, but its meaning is deep. The baggy green cap is considered a mark of identity and respect for Australian cricketers. When a player wears it, he not only plays the game but also preserves the pride inherited from previous generations. The disappearance of Cummins' cap shows that even a little carelessness in taking care of things within the team can prove to be costly.

We think that such incidents also affect the morale of the players. However, Cummins proved by his brilliant performance that his game does not depend on any cap. Still, lessons should be learnt from such incidents. In future, the cricket board should make some strong arrangements for the safety of the memorabilia of the players. Also, it shows how much even small symbols connect with the players.
