Former Australian opening batsman David Warner has signed up for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10 draft, becoming the 23rd foreign player to make himself available for the marquee occasion.
The announcement was made by the Pakistan Cricket Board and the league’s official social media handle titled ‘Ending 2024 ON A HIGH. The Aussie powerhouse David Warner has enrolled for the PSL Draft.”
David Warner has joined his countrymen Usman Khawaja, Matthew Short, Sean Abbott, and Alex Carey and different players from various nations.
David Warner has become famous as one of the most explosive top-order players across all formats. In 110 Twenty20 Internationals, he has played for Australia and scored 3277, including one hundred and twenty-eight fifties. In their most recent match against the Melbourne Renegades, Warner, who is currently captaining the Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League (BBL), was named player of the match for his 86-run knock from 57 balls.
Notably, Warner is the 23rd foreign player and fourth Australian player to enlist for the PSL 10 Player Draft up until this point.
Before him, his fellow opener Usman Khawaja, wicketkeeper Alex Carey, and pacer Sean Abbott have enrolled for the upcoming season of the league.
