Delhi: The thrill of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is currently at its peak, where cricket fans from all over the world are keeping their eyes. Meanwhile, Pakistan is also busy preparing for its 10th season of its major T20 League, Pakistan Super League (PSL). PSL 2025 is going to start from April 11.
Prior to the start of the season, PSL 2020 champion team Karachi Kings have announced their new captain. Former Australian veteran opener David Warner has been given the command of Karachi Kings. He has replaced Shaan Masood, who is currently the captain of Pakistan’s Test team.
David Warner will play for the first time in PSL
David Warner is counted among Australia’s most successful openers. He has also played many great innings in the IPL. However, after the T20 World Cup 2024, this dhakad batsman retired from international cricket. Before the Mega auction of IPL 2025, Delhi Capitals (DC) released him, and no franchise bought him.
After not being selected in the IPL, Warner gave his name in the draft of PSL, where Karachi Kings included him in his team. Now the franchise has also made him captain, so that he will be seen playing in PSL for the first time.
The performance of Karachi Kings has been disappointing in the last few season. The team is constantly getting out of the league stage. Prior to PSL 2024, Karachi made Shan Masood captain, but the team’s luck did not change and he missed out on making a place in the playoffs. Last season Karachi Kings won only 4 matches out of 10 and faced defeat in 6.
Now it will be interesting to see how Karachi Kings performs under the captaincy of David Warner. Warner has the experience of captaining the IPL, and in PSL too he will try to change the fate of Karachi.
