Was Warner Intentionally Ignored? 

The captains who were present at the event were Multan Sultans’ Mohammad Rizwan , Lahore Qalandars’ Shaheen Shah Afridi, Peshawar Zalmi’s Babar Azam , Islamabad United’s Shadab Khan, and Quetta Gladiators’ Saud Shakeel. In fact, at the Captains' Meet presser, the Kings were represented by Warner's deputy, Hasan Ali. It is reportedly understood that Warner voluntarily chose to skip the media event to attend an intra-squad practice match instead.

In fact, in what would come as a major setback for the Kings, Bangladesh 's Litton Das has pulled out of PSL 10. The Kings play their PSL 10 opener on April 12 against Multan Sultans. It promises to be a cracker and for sure - eyes would be on Warner. The Kings would hope to get their campaign off to a winning start under the new leader. For the unversed, it also happens to be the Kings' home game at the National Bank Stadium.

Can Warner Fire Tonight? 

Warner did attend a presser held by the Kings, where he revealed why he opted for PSL after the IPL snub. Warner admitted that his love for the game and the desire to play has prompted him to reach Pakistan. Warner would surely love to entertain the crowds in Pakistan like he has been doing for years in India. Expectations would be sky-high. Can he soak up the pressure and deliver?
