Major League Cricket Seattle Orcas have announced Australian cricket star David Warner will join them for the upcoming 2025 season. The news was shared on Seattle Orcas’ Instagram account, generating excitement among cricket fans in America.
The post was captioned, “We can’t wait to see you in action, @davidwarner31. Follow #SeattleOrcas to follow his journey in #MLC2025!”
A Major Acquisition For Seattle
Warner’s signing represents a significant boost for the Seattle Orcas franchise. The Australian opening batsman is known for his explosive batting style and extensive international experience. This acquisition follows an earlier announcement from the Orcas, with MLC posting on March 26: “The Orcas have made a BIG SPLASH signing. David Warner joins Seattle Orcas for season 3 of Cognizant #MajorLeagueCricket!!! This season is heating up and it looks like Seattle’s ready to dive in and dominate.”
The 38-year-old Warner recently retired from international cricket for Australia after a distinguished career. His aggressive batting style and wealth of experience in T20 cricket make him a valuable addition to the Seattle Orcas roster. Warner has been one of cricket’s most dynamic opening batsmen, known for his ability to score quickly and put opposition bowlers under pressure from the first ball.
Expanding American Cricket
Major League Cricket, now entering its third season, continues to attract high-profile international talent as it builds cricket’s presence in the United States. The league features six teams: Los Angeles Knight Riders, MI New York, San Francisco Unicorns, Seattle Orcas, Texas Super Kings, and Washington Freedom.
The 2025 season is shaping up to be the biggest yet, with MLC recently announcing the addition of South Florida to its venue lineup. On March 24, the league posted: “A moment for Broward County Stadium. Cognizant #MajorLeagueCricket adds South Florida to the venue lineup for season 3! Catch us July 1-6 for an epic week of cricket.”
Ticket Information And Venue Excitement
The league is currently promoting early bird ticket sales for the upcoming season. A recent post highlighted: “One week left to lock in the best prices! Early Bird tickets are flying fast! Save BIG and secure your spot for season 3 of Cognizant #MajorLeagueCricket at a huge discount!”
MLC has also announced special access for playoff tickets: “Playoffs + Final presale tickets open on Monday, 4/28! Fans that have purchased a ticket to any #MLC2025 match will be given exclusive access to our Playoff ticket window on Monday to purchase single match tickets FIRST!!!”
Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas, one of the main venues for MLC, continues to be a focal point for the league. “Vibes are always high at Grand Prairie Stadium. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Texas for the third installment of Cognizant #MajorLeagueCricket!!!” the league posted on April 24.
International Talent Influx
Warner isn’t the only international star joining MLC for the 2025 season. New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsman Tim Seifert will be playing for the San Francisco Unicorns, with the league announcing: “From New Zealand to the Bay. Tim Seifert is bringing world-class keeping to the Coliseum, repping the orange and blue.”
The influx of established international players continues to elevate the profile and quality of Major League Cricket as it works to establish cricket as a mainstream sport in the United States.
Growing Momentum For Cricket In America
The signing of Warner comes at a time when cricket is gaining momentum in the United States. The country will co-host the T20 World Cup with the West Indies in June 2024, marking the first time a major ICC tournament will be held in the USA.
MLC’s expansion into South Florida and its ability to attract players of Warner’s caliber demonstrates the league’s growing influence and ambition.
As the Seattle Orcas prepare for the 2025 season with Warner in their lineup, American cricket fans have much to look forward to in what promises to be the most competitive MLC season yet.
