“He’s going to a lot of effort to come and play for us. We love having him here. Last year he was awesome for us, maybe didn’t score as many runs as he would have liked but around the group and passing on knowledge was awesome to have him around. He’s one of the better teammen. All the fans get to enjoy him playing cricket,” Gurinder Sandhu said.

I’m looking forward to coming up against David Warner: Sean Abbott

Meanwhile, star Australian bowler Abbott says that the great batter is a bit of a Hollywood style owing to the entry he is making in the game. The 31-year-old cricketer is looking forward to playing against Warner in the ongoing edition of BBL.

“He is a bit Hollywood, isn’t he, that’s very Davey. I’m glad they are making it happen because think everyone in the country who is a fan of cricket wants to see David Warner in the BBL and I’m really looking forward to coming up against him. One of the best players in the world and has been for a long time,” Sean Abbott said being quoted by ESPNCricinfo.
