David Warner set to play for Sydney Thunder in BBL 2022-23
The swashbuckling batter David Warner has signed a two-year deal with Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League (BBL).
Warner is set to return to BBL after a hiatus of nine years. He last featured for Sydney Sixers in the third edition of the tournament.
So far, the southpaw has played only three BBL matches and slammed 152 runs at a lavish strike rate of 180.95, with a top score of 102*.
The 35-year-old is set to remain available for at least five matches of BBL 12 following the Sydney Test against South Africa.
Recently, he was reported to be playing in the UAE-based International League T20 (ILT20) from January-February. However, the initial signings of ILT20 and this latest deal have put all speculations to rest.
Cricket Australia is set to bear the extra remuneration of Warner's salary, outside Thunder's $1.9m cap.
