Cricket latest Ricky Ponting Addresses Josh Inglis’ Absence
Prior to the IPL 2026 mini auction, Ricky Ponting addressed the Josh Inglis situation and said that the star keeper-batsman played some important knocks for Punjab in the latter half of the tournament. “He has made me aware this year that he wasn’t going to be available for the majority of the tournament. So for that reason, I found it pretty much impossible to be able to be able to retain him,” said the Punjab Kings coach.
Inglis was nothing short of stellar in IPL 2025, and he scored 278 runs at an average of 30.89 and a strike rate of 162.57.
