Indian T20 League is the most lucrative event in the cricketing event since its introduction. Every year, global players come to India to play in this rich–vein league for their respective franchises. Punjab is also one of the teams who look to do well in every edition. Last year, Mayank Agarwal was the captain of that franchise.
Now, all these franchises are gearing up for the next edition of the Indian T20 League. A mini auction will happen in mid-December as per reports. So, several reports have come out as many teams have identified players to get traded out ahead of the next season. Now, big news came up regarding the Punjab franchise which might bamboozle their fanbase.
Punjab might release Mayank Agarwal ahead of the Indian T20 League 2023 - Reports
According to recent reports, the Punjab franchise might release their captain, Mayank Agarwal ahead of the next edition of this league. Last year, he did not have a great season both as a batter and leader. Mayank Agarwal led his team to the sixth position only with seven wins out of 14 matches.
He scored only 196 runs in 13 matches, at an average of 16.33. So, reports are suggesting that the Punjab franchise is going to release him. They have already released former Indian spinner, Anil Kumble as their head coach. Punjab have appointed Trevor Bayliss as their new head coach. Now, reports are also coming that Jonny Bairstow might become the new captain of the franchise.
Speaking about the Indian T20 League 2023, Sourav Ganguly confirmed earlier that the next season of men’s Indian T20 League will happen in the home and away format with all ten teams playing their home matches at their designated venues. Apart from his, reports are also there that Chennai might look to trade Ravindra Jadeja with Axar Patel and Shardul Thakur of Delhi. However, the transfer/trade window will remain open till one week before the auction. Then, it will re-open after the conclusion of the proposed auction in mid-December.
