IPL 2026 Retentions: Maxwell Likely To Be Released, Mayank Could Be Retained As Deadline Day Nears
Indian Premier League: With less than 24 hours left for the ten participating teams to finalise their retention plans for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 and showcase the players whom they are going to bid goodbye. With tons of frenzy happening on the discussion tables of all ten teams, it is understood that the larger focus will be on fine-tuning squads rather than pressing the reset button.
Multiple sources have told IANS that Punjab Kings could let go of Glenn Maxwell, Aaron Hardie, and Kyle Jamieson, who had come in as a replacement for injured Lockie Ferguson in the mid-way of IPL 2025, where the side finished as runners-up. Mitch Owen, who had come into the PBKS set-up as an injury replacement for Maxwell, is likely to be retained.
On the other side, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have decided to retain young Indian fast bowler Mayank Yadav, who has played only six games in the 2024 and 2025 seasons due to injury issues. Mayank had been retained by LSG for INR 11 crore, but played only two games this year due to a back injury, which resurfaced and needed surgical intervention in New Zealand.
