David Warner has made it clear that he is not planning an IPL comeback anytime soon.
After his recent PSL 2026 campaign, Warner responded to a fan on social media and rejected the idea of returning to the IPL for now.
Warner’s IPL Record and Auction Decision
Warner is one of the most successful overseas players in IPL history. He has scored 6,565 runs, which is the highest by any overseas batter in the league.
Despite this strong record, he was not picked by any team in the IPL 2025 mega auction. He also did not register for the IPL 2026 auction.
Instead, Warner chose to focus on other leagues like the Pakistan Super League.
Karachi Kings PSL 2026 Campaign
Warner joined Karachi Kings for PSL 2026 with a deal worth around ₹2.58 crore.
The season was not easy for the team. Karachi Kings lost five matches in a row and failed to reach the playoffs.
They did end the season on a positive note with two wins, but it was not enough to qualify.

After the tournament, Warner shared a message on social media.
He talked about the team’s fighting spirit and how they kept trying even when results were not in their favor.
