Former Australia opener David Warner has signed with Seattle Orcas for the third edition of the Major League Cricket (MLC 2025), which is set to begin on June 12.

This will be his first stint in the USA-based T20 league. Warner is currently playing in the PSL 2025, where he’s captaining Karachi Kings, bringing with him a wealth of T20 experience, having played in leagues across the World.

He has played a total of 401 T20S and has amassed 12,956 runs at a strike rate of 140.27. However, he retired from international cricket in June last year, but has continued to play in the T20 leagues across the globe.

Anyway, he was among the biggest names to have gone unsold at the IPL mega auction ahead of the IPL 2025. David Warner is the current fourth-highest run-getter in the IPL, with 6565 runs from 184 innings.

David Warner was also part of Dubai Capitals winning campaign in the ILT20 in February this year. Seattle Orcas has topped the MLC in the inaugural season in 2023 but were defeated by MI New York in the finals.
