Ricky Ponting's Envision To Transform Punjab Kings Into IPL’s Most Dynamic Team
With the recent announcement of the IPL retention lists, Ponting’s approach for Punjab Kings signals a shift as the franchise prepares to take a unique route, retaining only two uncapped players, Prabhsimran Singh and Shashank Singh, and choosing to let go of star players like South African pacer Kagiso Rabada, England’s Sam Curran, and Indian quick Arshdeep Singh.
Talking to The ICC Review, Ponting shared his excitement for this new venture. "I’m most excited about a new, fresh start. It starts to come together today, with the retention list. It’s well documented as to what I’ve done with Punjab," Ponting noted, adding that the team is well-equipped with the biggest auction purse, which opens doors for an ambitious and dynamic squad rebuild. “We’re only going in with two uncapped players, and we’re going into the auction with the biggest purse by a long way. So, we’ve got the ability to put a whole squad of players together,” he stated confidently.
