London: Australia's hard-hitting batsman David Warner said he would consider taking up a mega contract offer from a rebel cricket league, in line with the way many of Australia's greats defected to Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket in the late 1970s.

In May, Indian billionaire Subhash Chandra was, through his Essel Group empire, prepared to offer Warner and Australia Test captain Michael Clarke a 10-year contract worth $50 million each to spearhead the proposed rebel Twenty20 league.
