Josh Inglis Is All Set To Play In IPL 2025 For Punjab Kings
Josh Inglis, the explosive wicketkeeper-batsman from Australia, confirmed that he was fit and ready to play with the Punjab Kings next IPL season in 2025. It now clears speculation regarding the player missing out not only on the Test series against Sri Lanka but also on the IPL due to an injury. There were worries that surfaced following the report of Inglis sustaining a calf injury while sub-fielding during a Test match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, prompting speculation as to whether he could play in both the Test series and IPL.
However, it was said that Inglis has put those rumors to rest in an interview. He is now fit, with just a few few more precautions warranted before he can come back into full action ( he quoted after a recent interview few days ago). This would come as a big sigh of relief for Punjab Kings, which had put their faith behind him by splurging as much as INR 2.60 crore during IPL 2025’s mega auction. His signing was construed as a mean to provide the lineup with much-needed explosive batting and reliable contributions as a wicketkeeper to strengthen the team.

His dedication to recovery and rehabilitation has paid off as he has not just confirmed participation in the IPL but has also made his way for Australia 11 Test Debut against Sri Lanka in the Test that has started today. His presence in the international squad serves as a stamp of approval on his recovery and the faith the Australian selectors have in his abilities. Australia is impressed by his limited-overs performances for getting a sturdy middle order and energetic presence behind the stumps.
Josh Inglis will be an indispensable part of Punjab Kings in IPL 2025. The aggressive approach he has adopted in T20 cricket can play portentous roles, especially in a fixing situation. Though less known, his experience of playing in T20 leagues around the world, including his key role for the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League, makes him even more valuable. His ability against the true pace and spin bowling and penchant for fast scoring make him a tantalizing prospect for the Kings.
The comeback of Inglis with the Australian national team and Punjab Kings is the saga of resilience and hard work. His journey to recovery from injury is a comforting narrative in and of itself- his performance against Sri Lanka provides enough reassurance to the fans and the management of the teams: an assurance of his worth to both his national team and IPL team. As the clock winds down toward IPL 2025, all eyes shall be glued to Josh Inglis, expecting him to make quite the statement with his bat and gloves.
