David Warner is gearing up to make his Major League Cricket (MLC) debut in the 2025 season later this year. The former Australian opener has signed with the Seattle Orcas and will be joined by other international players like Heinrich Klaasen and Ryan Rickelton. Right now, Warner is in Pakistan playing for the Karachi Kings in the PSL 2025 season.
With over 400 T20 matches under his belt, the 38-year-old announced his retirement from international cricket for Australia last year. On April 18, a few months after the player draft, the Seattle Orcas confirmed Warner’s spot on their team for the upcoming MLC season. Earlier this year, he also became the new captain of the Karachi Kings, taking over from Shan Masood. Under his leadership, the Kings have won two out of three matches so far and sit in third place on the PSL points table with a decent net run rate.
Warner, one of the greats in cricket, didn’t get any bids at the IPL 2025 mega auction last November, despite being one of the top run-scorers in the tournament’s history. He is a multi-time World Cup winner with Australia and has played 110 T20Is. Overall, Warner has participated in 401 T20 games across various leagues like IPL, BPL, BBL, ILT20, CPL, and the Vitality T20 Blast. In 400 innings, he’s scored 12,925 runs at an average of 36.82, including eight centuries and 108 fifties.
