Warner to turn out for Sylhet
Australia's David Warner, who got embroiled in a ball-tampering row and is currently serving a one-year ban from international cricket, has signed for Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) outfit Sylhet Sixers.
The sixth edition of the BPL, originally scheduled to be held on October-November this year, is likely to be held in January next year. Warner, who has never played in the BPL before, is currently serving the seventh month of his ban.
Warner has recently featured in the Global T20 League in Canada and also played for St. Lucia Stars in the Carribean Premier League (CPL) in August-September this year.
Warner had a horrid time with the bat playing for Winnipeg Hawks in Canada. He was better in the CPL, hitting one half-century in his nine innings, during which he scored 220 runs at an average of just over 31 with a strike-rate of 111.67.
Warner captained Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League in 2016 and 2017, before having to step down in the wake of the ball-tampering scandal in March this year.
