Banned Australia batsman David Warner will join Caribbean Premier League (CPL) franchise St Lucia Stars later this year. Warner will make his CPL debut replacing fellow Australian D’Arcy Short, who will be on national duty after being selected for Australia A’s tour of India in August and September.
“We are excited to bring David to the Saint Lucia Stars. David is arguably one of the greatest batsman of the modern era and a winning player,” the Stars’ general manager Mohammad Khan said in a statement.
“He is going to add a lot of value on the field and in the dressing room as we pursue our first Hero CPL title.”
Warner and former Australia captain Steve Smith, who was also banned for 12 months after the scandal, will also feature in the inaugural Global T20 Canada league, which begins on June 28.
