PBKS IPL 2023 Retained Players List
Punjab Kings continued to have a dismal league record the previous season, finishing sixth for the fourth straight season. Let us look into PBKS IPL 2023 Retained Players List in detail.
However, the franchise wants to make a good first impression in the 2023 season, so like every year, they are currently searching for the ideal foreign all-rounder for their team during the IPL 2023 mini auction process.
They already have a large number of international players, including Kagiso Rabada, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, and Nathan Ellis.
But only Liam Livingstone among them can claim to be an all-rounder. The Punjab Side is currently searching for another capable all-around player.
They have 3 overseas slots and 32.2 crore rupees in the purse.
Ben Stokes or Sam Curran services will probably be acquired by the Punjab franchise given that players like Ben Stokes, Cameron Green, Harry Brook, Sikandar Raza, and Sam Curran are among the high-profile foreign players who will be put up for auction. If not them, they’ll look to purchase Cameron Green or Sikandar Raza, who are both in good form.
