David Warner to Captain Karachi Kings in PSL 2025 After Going Unsold in IPL Auction

Warner Becomes PSL’s Costliest Player Ever

Karachi Kings broke records by signing Warner for USD 300,000 during the PSL 2025 player draft, making him the most expensive acquisition in the tournament’s history.

The franchise confirmed his appointment as captain via social media, welcoming him into the team with high expectations for his leadership and batting prowess.

“We warmly welcome David Warner to the Karachi Kings family as our captain. His leadership and match-winning performances align perfectly with our team’s vision,” said Salman Iqbal, owner of Karachi Kings.

Warner replaces Shan Masood, who led the side during the 2024 season but could not inspire the team to a strong performance. Karachi Kings finished second-last in PSL 2024, winning just four of their ten league games. Despite the leadership change, Masood remains a vital part of the squad for the 2025 campaign.

PSL 2025 Schedule and Karachi Kings’ Campaign

PSL 2025 is scheduled to begin on April 11, with Karachi Kings kicking off their campaign on April 12 against Multan Sultans. The team is banking on Warner’s international experience, aggressive mindset, and captaincy skills to rejuvenate their fortunes and push for a playoff berth.

Warner’s signing is expected to bring attention and international appeal to PSL 10, which has grown in stature as a competitive T20 league.

Despite missing out on IPL 2025, Warner remains a sought-after player in global T20 leagues, and his leadership role in Karachi could mark the beginning of a new chapter in his illustrious career.

Warner’s Career at a Glance

David Warner has had a stellar career across formats, particularly in T20 leagues around the world. A former IPL champion with Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals stalwart, Warner is known for his explosive starts and ability to dominate bowlers. He has also captained Australia in various formats and brings with him a wealth of experience.

His presence in PSL 2025 is anticipated to raise the competitive bar. Karachi Kings will hope Warner’s inclusion can lead them to a turnaround season after their disappointing 2024 outing.

With PSL 2025 approaching fast, all eyes will be on Warner and Karachi Kings. They will aim to make a strong start in their quest for the title.
