David Warner Set to Return to Sydney Thunder for Full BBL Season

Sydney Thunder's general manager, Trent Copeland, is optimistic about David Warner's return for the upcoming Big Bash League (BBL) season. Warner, who has been a key figure for the Thunder in the past, has expressed his desire to play a full campaign with the club.

Warner's availability has been limited in recent seasons due to his international commitments. However, with his Test career now behind him, he could be more available for the BBL. Copeland is eager to capitalize on this opportunity and believes Warner's presence would greatly benefit the team.

"He's a champion of the club, a long-standing member, and hasn't really had the opportunities in his career to just live and breathe that for a full summer," Copeland said. "So I'm really keen to make that happen."

Warner has other commitments, including a deal with the Dubai Capitals in the ILT20, but Copeland is confident that the Thunder can accommodate his schedule. "Let's make sure we make that happen and he can be a Thunder man for life," Copeland said.

Warner himself has expressed his enthusiasm for playing in the BBL next season. "I definitely am keen to pursue playing Big Bash next year," he said. "There's going to be conversations behind the scenes to allow me to do that."

Copeland has made significant changes to the Thunder's roster since taking over as GM. Wes Agar and Sam Billings have been brought in, and the team has the third pick in the upcoming overseas draft. Copeland is confident that the Thunder can make a strong run in the upcoming season with Warner's potential return and the new additions to the team.
