Australian cricketers in state side New South Wales continue to be hot property in the Indian Premier League [Images] (IPL)and young opener David Warner has become the latest to take the IPL plunge, signing a two-year deal with the Delhi Daredevils [Images].
Warner, who is yet to play a match in the domestic Sheffield Shield competition, joins other NSW players like pacer Brett Lee [Images] (Kings XI Punjab [Images]), all-rounder Moises Henriques (Kolkata Knight Riders [Images]) and Nathan Bracken [Images] (Bangalore Royal Challengers [Images]) in the cash-rich Twenty20 [Images] league next season.
The 22-year-old, who hit a NSW one-day record score of 165 not out against Tasmania in a Ford [Images] Ranger Cup game last month, will play for the Daredevils alongside Australia [Images] pace legend Glenn McGrath, Indian opener Virender Sehwag [Images] and South African batsman AB de Villiers [Images].
Warner has played eight one-day games for NSW at an average of 64.16 and seven Twenty20 games at 21.33, the Australian Associated Press reported.
