Known for his consistency and adaptability across formats, Mitchell's presence will bolster TSK’s middle order and all-round strength. Tim Seifert, the explosive wicketkeeper-batter, joins the Seattle Orcas, adding firepower to their top order. Seifert, with his T20 franchise experience around the world, is expected to be a major weapon in the powerplay. They join an already strong set of New Zealand players in MLC, including: Devon Conway (Texas Super Kings) Lockie Ferguson (Los Angeles Knight Riders) Ish Sodhi (San Francisco Unicorns) Corey Anderson (also Unicorns, now a USA resident) 🏏 Why it Matters Global Talent Pool: MLC continues to attract world-class international players, further raising the league’s quality.
