Arshdeep Singh has earned a reputation as one of India's top bowling talents in recent years. His journey with the Punjab franchise has been nothing short of impressive. However, in an unexpected turn of events, the Punjab Kings have decided not to retain their star left-arm pacer ahead of the 2025 IPL auction.

In a show on Star Sports, Sanjay Manjrekar said: "I believe that they have released a lot of players so that they get some freedom. And the core of the team and the combination of the team should change completely. But they will definitely be interested in Arshdeep Singh. I believe there is a slight difference between today's Arshdeep Singh and 5 years ago's Arshdeep Singh.” He further added: "But he can still give you a wicket with a new ball. And you can still expect from him in the slogovers as well. So although Punjab Kings have released him, they will definitely be after Arshdeep in the mega auctions.” The PBKS has kept just two uncapped players, Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh, in their squad for IPL 2025. They’ll enter the IPL 2025 mega auction with a massive purse of INR 110.5 crore. They have also made changes in their coaching staff, bringing Ricky Ponting as their head coach for IPL 2025.
