‘My daughters want to see dad play there,’ David Warner says of the BBL’s return. “They’ve never seen me play in the Big Bash, and I’m all about family, and the Big Bash has become all about family,” Warner explained.
David Warner, the flamboyant Australian opener, will return to the Big Bash League after a nine-year absence. Warner signed a two-year contract with Sydney Thunder, the team he played for in the tournament’s first and third editions. The 35-year-old, however, will only play in the final five league matches because the first half of the tournament will clash with the highly anticipated South Africa series.
Warner had previously expressed interest in playing in the UAE T20 League. The Australian, on the other hand, clarified that his daughters wanted to see him play in the Big Bash. He also expressed his eagerness to return to the franchise that started it all.
“My ‘girls’ have said they’d love to see me play at home and in the BBL.” It will be fantastic for us to be a part of the BBL as a family, and it is something I am very excited to share with them,” he said.
“They’ve never seen me play in the Big Bash before, and I’m all about family, and the Big Bash has become all about family.” “My girls are now very interested in playing the game, and they want to see their father play in the Big Bash,” he added.
With Warner joining a Big Bash side, the only centrally contracted cricketers without a franchise are Steve Smith, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Scott Boland, and Cameron Green.

David Warner wishes to leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
At 35, Warner is certain that he is nearing the end of his career, which is why he wants to play in the BBL and eventually inspire young Australians to follow in the footsteps of the senior players.
“Franchise cricket teams come after you, but at the end of the day, it’s up to me to give back and make sure that our next generation follows in my and the rest of the (Australian) guys’ footsteps,” Warner said.
“I know that by playing, Cricket Australia, all the other players, and future generations will benefit.” I’m nearing the end of my career and don’t know how much time I have left, so it’s important to me to give back for the future of our game. For me, it’s about ensuring that our next generation of players follow the right path, which is to play for Australia. “Test cricket is the pinnacle, and I want kids to aspire to play Test cricket,” he added.
