IPL 2023: The mini-auction for the Indian Premier League (IPL) is planned for December 23 in Kochi, Kerala. Punjab Kings, like other teams, have started formulating plans to strengthen their roster and are likely to bring in new players before the new season.
Anil Kumble, a former head coach of the team, predicted that the team will be searching for an international all-rounder. Additionally, he said that the team would want to recruit Cameron Green of Australia at the upcoming auction. The talented all-rounder has played in eight T20I games so far, scoring 139 runs at a remarkable strike rate of 173.75.
“Punjab Kings have released Odean Smith, their international all-rounder. They will therefore undoubtedly hunt for an international all-arounder. So we have Sam Curran, Ben Stokes, and Cameron Green. Because he is tall, hits the deck hard, and can also bat in the top three, Cameron Green gives you a little bit of pace. Therefore, I believe Punjab will consider doing that,” Kumble said in an interview with Jio Cinema.
And they unquestionably require an international all-rounder. They have plenty of possibilities for the next two spots, and they have enough of money to spend them. Therefore, I assume they will likely fill them with an international batter and a spinning all-rounder.
The Punjab franchise will make an all-out effort to secure the final three international berths because it still has INR 32.2 crore in its bank account. Mayank Agarwal, who commanded PBKS during the previous season, has already been fired for failing to deliver the expected results as a leader.
With seven victories and the same amount of defeats in 14 games during the IPL 2022 season, PBKS placed seventh overall. Shikhar Dhawan has been chosen as their new designated leader, and the southpaw intends to turn around the side’s fortunes.
