    "editor1": "Major League Cricket: Veteran Australian opener David Warner is all set to begin a new chapter in his cricketing career. The 37-year-old has signed with Seattle Orcas for the third edition of Major League Cricket (MLC), which will be held in the USA from June 12 to July 13.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>This will be Warner\u2019s first appearance in the MLC, a league that has been steadily growing in popularity since its launch in 2023.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Warner, one of the most explosive batters in T20 history, brings a mountain of experience to the Orcas\u2019 squad. He has played 401 T20 matches across the world and scored 12,956 runs at a healthy strike rate of 140.27. Known for his aggressive starts and fearless strokeplay, Warner is expected to give the Orcas a solid boost at the top of the order.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Despite being one of the most successful players in the IPL - ranking fourth on the all-time run-getters list with 6,565 runs - Warner surprisingly went unsold at the IPL 2025 auction. But the southpaw didn\u2019t let that setback affect his form. He is currently captaining Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League and played a key role in taking Sydney Thunder to the final of the Big Bash League earlier this year, finishing with 405 runs in 12 innings. He was also part of the title-winning Dubai Capitals squad in the ILT20 in February.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Seattle Orcas will be hoping Warner\u2019s inclusion changes their fortunes. After topping the table in the inaugural MLC season in 2023, they had a forgettable campaign last year, finishing at the bottom with just one win from seven games. With Warner\u2019s vast experience, they\u2019ll be aiming for a strong comeback.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Despite being one of the most successful players in the IPL - ranking fourth on the all-time run-getters list with 6,565 runs - Warner surprisingly went unsold at the IPL 2025 auction.
