KARACHI: The newly appointed captain of the Karachi Kings, David Warner, has touched down in the city ahead of the much-anticipated Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10, which gets underway on April 11.
The Australian veteran landed in Karachi on Wednesday and linked up with his new franchise at the team hotel. This marks Warner’s debut appearance in the PSL — a league that had long awaited his explosive presence.
Warner, who was the Kings’ first pick in the Platinum category during the PSL 10 Draft, is set to lead the side this season. Renowned for his aggressive batting at the top of the order, the 37-year-old brings with him a wealth of experience and firepower.
The left-hander has represented Australia in 110 T20 Internationals, racking up 3,277 runs at a healthy strike rate. His international T20 career includes one century and 28 half-centuries — a testament to his consistency and match-winning ability.
His extensive franchise experience further boosts Warner’s T20 credentials. Over the years, he has featured in the IPL, BBL, ILT20, BPL, and CPL, becoming one of the most sought-after T20 players globally.
Karachi Kings will hold a training session at 5 PM today at the Hanif Mohammad High Performance Centre as they prepare for their opening clash of the season.
It’s worth noting that PSL 10 will begin on Friday, April 11, with defending champions Islamabad United taking on Lahore Qalandars in the tournament opener at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
Meanwhile, Karachi Kings will begin their campaign the following day, on April 12, with a home fixture against Multan Sultans at the National Bank Stadium.
David Warner (captain), Abbas Afridi, Adam Milne, James Vince, Hasan Ali, Khushdil Shah, Shan Masood, Mohammad Irfan Khan, Aamir Jamal, Arafat Minhas, Tim Seifert, Zahid Mahmood, Litton Das, Mir Hamza, Fawad Ali, Riazullah, Omair Bin Yousuf, Kane Williamson, Mohammad Nabi, and Mirza Mamoon.
