The Seattle Orcas have recruited former Australia opener David Warner for the third Major League Cricket (MLC) season, which starts on June 12, 2025. He will be playing in the USA-based T20 league for the first time.
Warner, who is presently captaining the Karachi Kings in the PSL, has played in tournaments all around the world and has a lot of T20 experience with him. He has amassed 12,956 runs at a strike rate of 140.27 in 401 Twenty20 matches. In June of last year, he announced his retirement from international cricket.
After competing in the IPL since 2009, David Warner was one of the most well-known players to be unsold at the auction ahead of IPL 2025. With 6565 runs from 184 innings, he remains the fourth-highest run scorer in the IPL. He did, however, make a significant impact on the BBL this season when he returned as captain of the Sydney Thunder and guided them to the championship game. With 405 runs in 12 innings, he also finished as the league’s second-highest scorer.
David Warner also played for the Dubai Capitals, who won the ILT20 in February of this year.
In 2023, Seattle won the MLC table, but MI New York defeated them in the championship game. With just one victory in seven games during the second season under Heinrich Klaasen’s leadership, they finished last in the standings.
The dates of MLC 2025 are set for June 12–13. David Warner will play for London Spirit at The Hundred, so it won’t conflict like it did last year.
