Josh Inglis Enters IPL 2026 Mini-Auction With Only Four-Match Availability

His wedding schedule limits him to four games, prompting Punjab Kings to release him ahead of the Abu Dhabi auction.

Overview

  • Inglis has registered for the December 16 mini-auction in Abu Dhabi at a base price of INR 2 crore.
  • Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting said retaining Inglis was not feasible because he would miss most of the tournament.
  • Inglis informed the BCCI he can play only about two weeks of IPL 2026, equating to roughly four matches.
  • The wicketkeeper-batter delivered 278 runs at a 162.57 strike rate in 11 games for PBKS in 2025, including a 73 off 42 against Mumbai Indians.
  • A total of 1,355 players have registered for the auction, with several others—Ashton Agar, William Sutherland, Adam Milne and Rilee Rossouw—also declaring partial availability.
