David Warner appointed captain of Karachi Kings for HBL PSL 10

Former Australian batter David Warner has been named captain of Karachi Kings for HBL PSL 10, which kicks off on April 11 across four venues in Pakistan.

Warner was selected by Kings in the platinum category during the players draft, which took place at the iconic Hazuri Bagh in Lahore.

“At the same time, we extend our deepest appreciation to Shan Masood for his exceptional contributions last season. His efforts were pivotal in building a strong foundation, and we look forward to his continued role as a key player in the squad,” Salman added.

Warner will also be making his debut appearance in the PSL with this season.
