David Warner Debuts as Karachi Kings Captain

David Warner, the former Australian cricket star, has been appointed as captain of Karachi Kings for the 2025 Pakistan Super League (PSL), marking his debut in the tournament. Warner replaces Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood and was acquired for a record-breaking USD 300,000, making him the most expensive signing in PSL history. Despite being unsold in the 2025 IPL auction, Warner's leadership experience, including guiding Sydney Thunder to the Big Bash League final, positions him as a valuable asset. Karachi Kings' owner Salman Iqbal highlighted Warner's alignment with the team's vision and expressed gratitude to Masood for his past contributions. Warner's appointment adds a new dynamic to the team as they aim for their maiden PSL title. He is expected to enhance the team's performance with his aggressive batting and extensive T20 leadership experience.
