Marcus Stoinis and Josh Inglis to return for IPL 2025 but at one massive condition...
Punjab Kings (PBKS) head coach Ricky Ponting has succeeded in convincing Marcus Stoinis and Josh Inglis to return for the IPL 2025. According to the reports in RevSportz, it is learned that both the Australian players are set to return for the rest of the tournament.
Marcus Stoinis and Josh Inglis were among the players who didn't agree to come back to the IPL 2025. The Australia National Cricket Team players reportedly cited security concerns, especially after the tensions between India and Pakistan at the border.
There were reports that claimed that Ricky Ponting is in consistent chats with Marcus Stoinis and Josh Inglis and is convincing them to return. With the latest reports confirming that they will return, it seems that the Punjab King's head coach has managed to convince them.
Marcus Stoinis and Josh Inglis soon will be returning but they won't be available for the first game that Punjab Kings play after the IPL 2025 resumption. They will be missing the first game and will be joining the team ahead of the next clash of the team.
Marcus Stoinis and Josh Inglis will miss the game against Rajasthan Royals
Marcus Stoinis and Josh Inglis will miss the game against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday (18th May), which will be played at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. This means that they will be back for the clash against Delhi Capitals, which will be played on 24th May.
Marcus Stoinis and Josh Inglis will be key members of Punjab Kings going ahead in the IPL 2025. The duo played a key role for the team in the last games that they played and would be keen to better the effort in the rest of the remaining games of the tournament.
Punjab Kings are currently placed third on the points table with 7 wins and 3 losses from the 11 games. They need just one victory to qualify for the playoffs and with the kind of cricket that they are playing, they look favourites to win the league also.
