Former Australia National Cricket Team batter David Warner talked about his future in the Major League Cricket (MLC). He came up with the emotional statement, saying that he doesn't have any offers to play in the league.

David Warner, who is regarded as one of the best opening batters to have played the game, announced his retirement from international cricket in 2024. The left-hander ended his career as one of the greats of Australian cricket, scoring truckloads of runs across the formats.

David Warner, after announcing his retirement from international cricket, confirmed that he will be playing in the leagues around the world. However, the batter hasn't got many offers, and this has raised many eyebrows, especially with the kind of impact he has made for the franchises he has played.

David Warner went unsold in the Indian Premier League

David Warner also went unsold in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in what was the biggest shock. The former Australia National Cricket Team opener has been a stalwart in the cash-rich league and is still the leading run-getter in the tournament amongst overseas players.

After retiring, Warner played in the Big Bash League. The opening batter captained the franchise and led from the front. He guided his team to the final before losing against Hobart Hurricanes. But what was impressive was that he looked in fine touch and played brilliant knocks throughout.

Warner, after that, played for Dubai Capitals in the ILT20 2025 as well. He played a vital hand for the team during the fag end of the tournament. The franchise went on to win the title as they defeated Desert Vipers in the final, marking the first-ever title win in franchise cricket for the Capitals group.

Warner, overall in his career, has played 399 games in T20 cricket. The left-hander has slammed 12913 runs at an average of over 37 and a strike rate of over 140. The Southpaw also has slammed 108 half-centuries and 8 centuries in his career so far.

Warner, after the runs that he scored in the Big Bash League and the ILT20 2025, surely will be on the radar of some of the IPL franchises if any injury happens. The batter last played in the league last year as he represented Delhi Capitals but didn't look in great touch.

Overall in 184 IPL games, Warner has scored 6565 runs at an average and strike rate of 40.52 and 139.78. The opening batter also has slammed 62 half-centuries and 4 tons. He also guided Sunrisers Hyderabad to the title win in 2016 after they beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the final.
