Fans are eagerly waiting for the list of their favorite team, which will be released on 31st October on the day of Diwali. Lists of many teams have appeared in media reports. According to this, the Punjab Kings team has decided not to spend money on any big player in retention. There are many star players in the team but owner Preity Zinta has decided not to retain anyone. She wants to enter the mega auction with a big purse by betting only on two uncapped players.
All star players including Arshdeep Singh will be released
According to the new rules, any team can retain 6 players. There can be a maximum of 5 capped and 2 or less uncapped players. For this, his salary cap has been fixed at Rs 120 crore. A total expenditure of Rs 75 crore is allowed for retention. If reports are to be believed, keeping these rules in mind, Punjab Kings have prepared their retention list for IPL 2025 and submitted it to BCCI.
