David Warner, the former Australian cricketer, has signed a contract with Seattle Orcas of the Major League Cricket (MLC) for the third season of the league, which will happen in the USA from June 12, 2025 onwards. The 38-year-old has been a part of franchise T20 leagues all over the world including the likes of Indian Premier League (IPL), Big Bash League (BBL), and Pakistan Super League (PSL), among others, and now, he will be playing in the MLC for the first-time this year during the twilight of his career.
Notably, David Warner is currently not participating in the IPL 2025 season after going unsold at the auction last year despite being the fourth-highest run-getter in the league’s history apart from captaining Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to a title win in 2016. In the recently concluded season of the BBL 2024-25 at the turn of the year, David Warner led Sydney Thunder to the final, while scoring 405 runs in 12 innings, to find himself in second place in the run-scoring charts.

After that, the Australian great won the International League T20 (ILT20) 2025 title with Dubai Capitals a couple of months ago, and now, he is captaining Karachi Kings in the PSL 2025. With such a wealth of experience of playing T20 cricket, apart from being available to compete all over the world at any time, due to retiring from international cricket, David Warner could end up being a perfect fit for Seattle Orcas in the upcoming MLC 2025 season.
During the first two seasons of the MLC, Seattle Orcas lost the final of the inaugural edition of the tournament against MI New York in 2023, while they finished last on the points table last year. The 2025 season of the MLC is set to go down from June 12 to July 13, and with it being a standalone franchise T20 tournament during this window, David Warner will be able to play in The Hundred for the first-time ever for London Spirit shortly afterwards.
