Before IPL 2026, Josh Inglis cheated Punjab Kings in the greed of more money, gave this clarification on the displeasure of PBKS

Before IPL 2026, a big betrayal has happened with Punjab Kings captained by Shreyas Iyer. Punjab Kings wicketkeeper batsman Josh Inglish has betrayed the franchise in the greed of more money. Punjab Kings had bought him for Rs 2.6 crore in the mega auction of IPL 2025, but before the mini auction, Punjab Kings had released him.

Josh Inglis had released the IPL 2026 mini auction before the list was released. The reason behind this was that he had talked about playing only 4 matches in IPL 2026.

Lucknow Super Giants bought Josh Inglis for 8.60 crores

Lucknow Super Giants, captained by Rishabh Pant, have included Josh Inglis in their team for Rs 8.60 crore. Before the IPL mini auction, it was believed that they would not find any buyer, but in the end they found a buyer and now Josh Inglis has also reacted on this. Josh Inglis said, “I cannot play the entire season because my marriage is already fixed. So I was not even expecting to be sold, but later I saw that my name was removed from the list of unsold. Right now I am not thinking much about it and right now I want to focus on the Ashes series only.”

Josh Inglis betrayed Punjab Kings

Josh Inglis had told Punjab Kings that he can stay with the team only for 4 matches, that is why just 45 minutes before releasing the retained list, Punjab Kings had given the name of Josh Inglis to BCCI, but now after getting 8.60 crores, he has agreed to play some more matches.

Punjab Kings had got this player for only 2.60 crores, but now after getting 8.60 crores, they have changed their decision, which Punjab Kings are seeing as a betrayal and are angry with Josh Inglis.
