Australia's star opener David Warner has arrived in Kathmandu to play in the Nepal Premier League. Warner, who is contracted to Kathmandu Gorkhas for the third edition of the tournament, arrived in Nepal on Sunday night.

The team is preparing to field him in Monday's match against Karnali Yaks. The match, the league's tenth, will begin at 12:30 pm.

Kathmandu is still searching for its first win, having lost to Janakpur Bolts by 8 wickets. Karnali, captained by Sompal Kami, remains unbeaten so far, having beaten Janakpur by 19 runs and Biratnagar Kings by 4 wickets.

He is the third Bangladeshi player to sign with Karnali. Jishan had previously performed well against Nepal as well.
