Punjab Kings has announced the names of the players to be retained before the mega auction of IPL 2025. Punjab Kings have decided to retain only 2 players. Punjab have selected Prabhsimran Singh and Shashank Singh as their retained players. Punjab Kings retained Shashank Singh for Rs 5.5 crore and Prabhsimran Singh for Rs 4 crore.

Talking about this, head coach Ricky Ponting said that Prabhasimran is a player on whom we have invested and from whom we have high expectations. After Shashank’s skill and brilliant performance, it was difficult to ignore him. Our team will enter the auction with the intention of bringing back some of its other players.

Shashank, who scored 354 runs in 14 matches for Punjab Kings in IPL 2024 and batted at a strike rate of 164.65, expressed his happiness and said that he is grateful to the team for showing their faith again. He is looking forward to working with Coach Ponting and contributing to the success of our team. Talking about staying with PBKS for the seventh season, Prabhasimran said that he always wanted to play for Punjab Kings.

In a way, Punjab has released almost its entire team. Last season’s captain Shikhar Dhawan has already announced retirement. In such a situation, now the team will have to search for its captain along with the players in the mega auction of IPL 2025. Punjab will enter the IPL mega auction with the highest purse.
