Smith’s lucky Test cap found

Smith revealed the news of the cap being found via his Twitter account.

“Big thx everyone,got my cap back! must have been @janbraai lamb offering…:-) quality crowd on boxing day,big for the boys PROTEAS,” the skipper wrote.

An official Cricket South Africa tweet also confirmed the development but did not say whether it has been returned voluntarily or recovered from somewhere.

“Smith’s cap has been found and returned to its rightful owner. Happy days,” it stated.

Smith had been upset ever since the cap was lost and had described it as “irreplaceable”.

South Africa are currently playing India in the second Test of a three-match series at Kingsmead here.
