**KARACHI, PAKISTAN** – David Warner, after going unsold at the IPL 2025 mega auction, has signed a record-breaking deal with the Karachi Kings for the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The Australian cricketer, who retired from international cricket last year, was acquired for Rs 2.58 crore, making him the most expensive signing in PSL history. He will also captain the team.
Warner dismissed a reporter’s claim that he had been trolled by Indian fans for joining the PSL instead of the IPL, stating it was the first he’d heard of such criticism. He emphasized his desire to continue playing cricket and expressed his excitement about the opportunity to captain the Karachi Kings and compete for the PSL trophy. His debut will be Saturday against the Multan Sultans.
Warner’s impressive T20 record, boasting 12,913 runs in 399 matches at a strike rate of 140.23, makes him a valuable addition to the Karachi Kings’ roster. The team’s full squad includes other notable players such as Abbas Afridi, Adam Milne, James Vince, and Shan Masood. The Karachi Kings selected Warner as their top pick in the Platinum category during the PSL 10 Players Draft.
