Follow UsDavid Warner will be making his Major League Cricket (MLC) debut later this year as Seattle Orcas have snapped up the Australian veteran for the forthcoming edition of the competition. Warner went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction, but he then signed up to play for Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), where he is currently captaining the side. Now, it’ll be another debut for Warner, who has signed up with the Orcas.
Seattle had a horrid time in MLC 2024, finishing at the bottom of the league with just one win in 7 games. However, they did reach the final of the inaugural MLC season in 2023.
Warner will join Heinrich Klaasen and Ryan Rickelton at the franchise. Quinton de Kock was part of Seattle Orcas for MLC 2024, but he has since moved to MI New York.
Warner, who is retired from international cricket, has been fantastic with the bat in 2025. Despite being 38, the left-hander has scored 416 runs at an average of 41.6 and a strike rate over 140 in this calendar year. With 405 runs, he was the second-highest run-getter in the 2024/25 Big Bash League (BBL), where he captained Sydney Thunder to the final.
