[Saba Sports News] Australian opener David Warner was dismissed for 12 runs on his debut in the newly-launched MAX60 Caribbean League, a T10 tournament set against the scenic backdrop of the Cayman Islands. Warner recently retired from international cricket following Australia’s exit from the T20 World Cup 2024, but his cricket journey continues with this new venture.
The MAX60 Caribbean League, which began on August 18, boasts a star-studded lineup including Warner, Alex Hales, and Dwayne Bravo, among others. The six-team competition is a short, eight-day tournament. Warner’s participation raised eyebrows given his recent retirement, but his debut for the Boca Raton Trailblazers against the Miami Lions was underwhelming, as he was dismissed cheaply by a sharp caught-and-bowled from Ben Manenti, an Australia-born spinner representing Italy.
Despite his modest start, Warner’s presence is considered a major coup for the league. The CEO of the MAX60 Caribbean League expressed excitement about Warner’s involvement, stating, “David Warner is a huge signing for this league. He’s done it all in T20 cricket, and we’re fortunate to have him showcase his talent for the Cayman Islands and the world.”
