Australia National cricket team captain Pat Cummins lost his brand-new Bagi Green Cap shortly before the toss in the first Test against West Indies in Barbados. Pat Cummins planned to sports the new Bagi Green, especially made by former manufacturer Albian, from the two-match testing series running between West and Australia.
Unlike many Australian legends, who proudly wear their original baggy green color until it separates, Cummins decided to retire his old after 68 tests and started the ongoing West Indies Tour with a custom-made new baggy green cap.
This was as special as Kababurra currently contracts to create iconic headwear, but Cummins has requested Albian, the original manufacturer of his first first cap since 2011, to maintain his replacement, keeping in mind the tradition and their feelings.

Despite serious efforts, Cummins’ prized Bagi Green Cap was not found. Due to no other option, the Australian captain was forced to bring his old, worn Bagi Green back into action. He was seen wearing his old hat in the toss in the first Test against the West Indies.
Well, Cummins’ new cap is still missing. The incident has shocked Cummins, especially given the mythological status of Bagi Green in Australian cricket. Players like Steve Waugh, Ricky Ponting and David Warner wore their baggy green cap until they were barely caught together.
Pat Cummins becomes the latest prey after David Warner and Greg Chapel
Interestingly, Cummins is not the first Australian cricketer to experience such an accident. Last year, David Warner made headlines, when his baggi Green went missing after his belongings were stolen, and he filed a public petition to return his special hat. Prior to Warner, a similar heart was broken near Greg Chapel when his cap had disappeared from a brisbane storage feature.
Despite the cap drama, Cummins allowed his bowling to talk. The Australian captain remained focused and took three important wickets in the first test. He played a strong supporting role for Josh Hazelwood, who led the attack with a brilliant five wickets in the second innings. Together, she helped Australia score the West Indies 159 runs in the first Test.

Steve Smith is ready to be available for second test
Meanwhile, Steve Smith is likely to return to Australia’s second Test against the West Indies in Grenada, after recovering from a finger injury that he was suffering against South Africa at Lord’s during the WTC final 2025. Smith recently trained using softball in New York and re -included the team in Barbados after his major victory in the first Test.
The right -handed batsman still has to clean some medical checks, to decide his fate with Tuesday’s training session. If fit, they are expected to bat at number 4, which in the second Test against the West Indies can push Josh Englandis out of XI.
