After being invented at the mega auction of the Indian Premier League (IPL), David Warner should appear in Pakistan Super League (PSL) for the first time in his career. Warner has been acquired by Karachi Kings for a record of RS 2.58 making him the most expensive signature in the history of the PSL. He was also appointed captain by the franchise and should make his debut in tournament on Saturday while Karachi Kings would face Multan Sultans. Before his team’s opening match, Warner addressed Karachi’s media, where he faced a clumsy question from a journalist.
The journalist said that many “Indians” had dragged Warner for playing in the PSL because he was not recovered in IPL this year. However, Warner reduced the complaint made by the journalist, saying that he was the first time that he had heard such an assertion.
“This is the first to have heard about it. From my point of view, I want to chat. There is an opportunity to come to PSL. My international calendar has not allowed me to come to PSL because of the schedules. Now I want to compete, Warner told the captain of the Karachi Kings, and I hope that we will be able to win the trophy,” said Warner during the press conference.
