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 [ Images ], 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.
