Marcus Stoinis and Josh Inglis will be joining the Punjab Kings setup ahead of the team's second game against the Delhi Capitals. The match will be taking place at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday (24th May), and it will be a rematch as their last game was called off due to tensions between India and Pakistan.
After that match, the IPL 2025 was suspended as well for one week, and it saw all the foreign players returning home. The league is now all set to resume on 17th May, but all the franchises are facing a massive headache in terms of the availability of foreign players, who have expressed security concerns.
There have been a lot of reports in the last few days that stated that Marcus Stoinis and Josh Inglis won't be returning for the IPL 2025. It was also learned that Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting will have discussions with the Australian duo and will try to convince them to come back.

It now seems that Ricky Ponting has succeeded in that, as both Marcus Stoinis and Josh Inglis will be joining the team soon. This will be a major boost for the franchise as both players have played a decent role for the team and will be extremely crucial in the playoffs as well.
Marcus Stoinis has been doing a great job with the bat and ball. So far, he has slammed 82 runs at a strike rate of over 168 and has also been handy with the ball. On the other hand, Josh Inglis has played 6 games so far and has hit 92 runs at a strike rate of around 140.
