Sir Donald Bradman’s Australia Test cap to go under hammer

Sir Donald Bradman’s Australia Test Cap will go under the hammer next month, according to cricket.com.au. One of Bradman’s Baggy Green caps will be auctioned at Lloyds Auctions, with bidding starting at $1 and closing on January 26, 2026. The great cricketer Bradman gifted one of his Australian Test caps to a fellow Test cricketer, and since then, it has remained with the family for more than 70 years. The family didn’t auction Bradman’s Test cap or display it for public sale.
“This is a genuine piece of cricket history that Sir Donald Bradman personally gifted,” Lloyds Auctions’ Lee Hames said.
“Its uninterrupted family ownership for 75 years and its direct link to ‘The Don’ make it one of the most important Bradman-related pieces to come to auction,” he added.
The cap, which will be auctioned, will draw international interest from private collectors, museums, institutions and fans. Bradman wore that cap during the 1947/48 series against the first Indian team to tour Australia. The series saw Bradman amassing 715 runs from six innings.
