As IPL 2025 gears up for its resumption on May 17, Punjab Kings are still awaiting confirmation on the return of several key overseas players. The availability of Marcus Stoinis, Marco Jansen, Josh Inglis, and Aaron Hardie remains uncertain, creating some concern for the franchise as the league enters its crucial final stretch.

Among them, Jansen and Inglis have been named in South Africa’s and Australia’s squads respectively for the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) final, scheduled to begin on June 11 at Lord’s. Their inclusion for the high-profile Test clash adds further doubt over their participation in the remaining IPL matches.
