PBKS Released And Retained Players 2025: Punjab Kings is one of the few teams who still wait to lift their maiden IPL title in the Indian Premier League. The Punjab-based franchise is one of the eight teams to make their IPL debut in the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2008.

With just five wins in the league stage, Punjab Kings finished in the ninth spot in last year’s points table. Notably, Punjab Kings have not qualified for the playoff since 2014, when they finished runners-up.

After finishing in the ninth spot in last year’s IPL tournament, Punjab Kings appointed legendary cricketer Ricky Ponting as their new head coach for the IPL 2025 season.

PBKS will completely revamp their squad for the IPL 2025 season to execute a better performance under Ricky Ponting’s guidance.

Though the exact date for the IPL 2025 mega auction has not yet been revealed, the event is expected to be held in the 3rd or 4th week of November 2024 in UAE or London.

Right after the arrival of Ricky Ponting, Punjab Kings sacked Trevor Bayliss and Sanjay Bangar, their head coach and head of cricket development, respectively, in IPL 2024.
