Punjab Kings, who didn't have a great outing last season, may not retain any of their players, ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 mega auctions, a report said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While most franchises are looking to retain their key players ahead of the mega auction, Punjab might look to make a fresh start again and head into the bidding war with a full purse balance of Rs 90 crore.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Notably, all the eight existing franchises have been asked to submit their retention list by November 30.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It was reported earlier that star batter and captain KL Rahul doesn't want to remain with Punjab (PBKS), considering the franchise's lack of success. The India T20I vice-captain is on top of the wishlist of the two new franchises -- Ahmedabad and Lucknow, who have been given the right to sign players before the start of the IPL 2022 mega auction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Now, as per a report in The Telegraph India, PBKS are looking at uncapped players like Ravi Bishnoi and Arshdeep Singh as possible retentions but haven't made their mind yet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Since the franchise would only need to shell out INR 4 crore if they retain an uncapped player, one of Arshdeep and Bishnoi could be persisted with," the report said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
