'We have some of the best young Indian talent'- Ricky Ponting lauds Punjab Kings' scouting efforts

Finding the ideal mix of Indian and foreign talent in their ranks, Punjab Kings successfully concluded their IPL 2025 auction on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. With Ricky Ponting as their new head coach, the team took a new tack and assembled a new team by combining the top players from the auction.

The team was made up of seasoned players with extensive Indian Premier League experience, including Arshdeep Singh, Shreyas Iyer, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Harpreet Brar. Lockie Ferguson, Marco Jansen, Glenn Maxwell, and Marcus Stoinis are all excellent foreign players who complement the Indian core.

Long-term planning was used in the recruitment of talented young domestic players, including Priyansh Arya, Harnoor Pannu, Pravin Dubey, Musheer Khan, Pyla Avinash, and Suryansh Shedge. In order to discover the future Kings, the team’s intensive reconnaissance work was essential.

Ricky Ponting, the head coach, gave the management thanks for their diligent work behind the scenes on the auctions.

This is really exciting since we have some of the top young Indian talent in our company. Thus, our scouts have performed admirably and put in a lot of effort to ensure that the auctions proceed as planned,” Ponting continued.

Additionally, Ponting clarified why the club specifically wanted Australian international stars throughout the auctions. There are several Australians here, and I’m sure I’ll receive some criticism. Out of the eight Australians we have abroad, I believe we have five. The players we had, however, were ideal for the roles we needed when you looked at them,” he remarked.

Since Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell have both played here in the past, it is very significant that they are returning to Kings. We are also really excited about a few new players who are making their IPL debuts, including as Josh Inglis, Aaron Hardie, and Xavier Bartlett,” he said.

Having some good all-round players is another thing that excites the former Australian captain, who thinks they will provide the team stability and balance. “With Azmatullah Omarzai, Marco Jansen, and Hardie, we have a number of elite all-round playmakers. It has therefore turned out quite nicely. It makes me really happy. Ponting said, “I think the general sentiment around our table and definitely what a lot of the Punjab fans are saying is that they are really happy with the job that we have done so far. They will all go out and say that they are really happy with their auctions.”

Ponting reflected on the auction and its outcome, saying he was thrilled with the way it turned out. “I’m really pleased with the auction. We had a fantastic first day, securing some of our most expensive and well-known players. However, he acknowledged that day two was perhaps significantly more crucial.

“There were more vacancies to fill, including some crucial ones. We anticipated receiving 20 or 21 players at this auction given the amount of money we were willing to invest. However, we have eight players from outside, so we have a complete quota,” Ponting continued.

Without holding back, Ponting reiterated the team’s goals for the upcoming season. “I am now (seasonally) prepared. Really, that’s the end of the hard labor. During the two days of the auction, a great deal of effort is put into the process. We have the players. It is now my responsibility and that of the other coaching staff to ensure that we are prepared to win the IPL when we arrive in March.

Punjab Kings CEO Satish Menon also offered his opinions on the team that was put together. The team will be entering the next season with great expectations, he made it obvious to the supporters.

“We have had an amazing auction. We probably got more players than we wanted, if not all of them. Going into the season, we had a lot of expectations. I’m watching with my fingers crossed. We have a fantastic group of young players, including Nehal Wadhera and others from Punjab. It’s unlikely that we could have hoped for anything more. We are truly grateful to all of the supporters, and we hope you will all be there to witness us win the trophy this time,” he said.
