David Warner To Join Kathmandu Gorkhas For NPL 2026? Franchise Hints At Historic Signing - ABP Live English
David Warner could be on his way to the Nepal Premier League, with Kathmandu Gorkhas fuelling speculation over the Australian star’s possible arrival through a series of cryptic Instagram posts. The franchise first shared a graphic featuring a dog tag marked “31” with the message, “A clue hangs in silence.” The post was followed by Instagram stories showing a green-and-yellow bag and an airport departure board displaying a Sydney-to-Kathmandu flight.
The posts did not name Warner or confirm a signing, but they quickly sparked speculation among cricket fans. Warner has also been linked with Kathmandu Gorkhas after Australian cricket page Seam Strike claimed that the former Australia opener would play in the upcoming NPL season.
Warner’s reported like on the post added further momentum to the buzz around his possible participation. However, the franchise has not officially announced the identity of the player being teased.
If Warner does join Kathmandu Gorkhas, he would become the biggest international name to feature in the Nepal Premier League.
Warner is one of Australia’s most successful modern cricketers. He was part of the teams that won the 2015 and 2023 ODI World Cups, the 2021 T20 World Cup and the 2023 World Test Championship.
The left-handed batter has played 110 T20 internationals for Australia, scoring more than 3,200 runs, including one century.
His franchise record is even more impressive. Warner has featured in 439 T20 matches and scored more than 14,000 runs, with 10 centuries and 118 fifties.
He has also played in major competitions such as the Indian Premier League, Big Bash League, Pakistan Super League, The Hundred, Major League Cricket, Bangladesh Premier League, Caribbean Premier League and Vitality Blast.
