Tim Seifert, New Zealand wicketkeeper-batter, will be playing in the Major League Cricket (MLC) for the first-time in his career after signing with San Francisco Unicorns for the 2025 season of the tournament. The 30-year-old will join his New Zealand teammates Finn Allen along with former teammate at Northern Districts in their domestic cricket, Corey Anderson, aiming to win the coveted trophy for them for the first-time ever.
Notably, San Francisco Unicorns were the runners-up in the MLC 2024 season after losing the title to Washington Freedom in the final last summer under Corey Anderson’s captaincy. As per the report from ESPNcricinfo, Tim Seifert and Finn Allen are not under contract with New Zealand Cricket (NZC), but they have made themselves available to play T20I cricket in the build-up to the T20 World Cup 2026.
I can't wait to get started this summer and add some more firepower: Tim Seifert on joining San Francisco Unicorns
While speaking about his arrival to the MLC in the 2025 season, Tim Seifert was quoted as saying, “I've been following MLC from afar over the last couple of seasons, particularly keeping a close eye on some of the Kiwi contingent. I can't wait to get started this summer and add some more firepower with a team that is already stacked with talent and in a great position to take things one step further than last year.”
Shane Watson, the head coach of San Francisco Unicorns, sounded quite happy about signing Tim Seifert ahead of the MLC 2025 season, “We look for both quality cricketers and quality personalities when bringing players into the Unicorns fold, and Tim definitely checks both those boxes.” Apart from that, the likes of Michael Bracewell has signed for MI New York, while Daryl Mitchell has re-signed with Texas Super Kings after missing out on last MLC season due to injury.
