Australian spin legend Shane Warne doesn't feel the same level of reverence for the 'Baggy Green' cap, worn only by Test cricketers from his country, as some of his teammates did and current Aussie players do. 

Warne, who retired from the game in 2007 with 708 Test wickets, considers talks around the prestigious nature of the cap as "verbal diarrhoea".

"I always believed that you didn’t have to wear the Baggy Green cap to say how much you loved playing cricket for Australia," said Warne on ‘Triple M’, a Melbourne-based radio station.

"I loved playing cricket for Australia, and I didn’t need to wear that cap or have that verbal diarrhoea about it, I just enjoyed playing cricket for Australia."

Warne auctioned his Baggy Green towards the bushfire relief efforts down under. 

“I always felt that if I wore a white floppy hat or wore my Baggy Green cap it meant exactly the same, I was playing for Australia," added the 50-year-old. 

In the recent amazon prime documentary 'The Test', players were constantly seen expressing their love for wearing that specially designed cap. 

Warne, however, couldn't relate any less to their sentiments, having earlier criticised former skipper Steve Waugh for asking players to ensure they wear the cap properly at the start of every Test match.  

"There was too much verbal diarrhoea about the baggy cap. It was a bit too over the top for me," he said.

"The stuff that they go on about, the fabric of the Baggy Green and all this stuff that they go on about, I don’t sign in and buy into that."
