Australia’s star batter, Josh Inglis, is heading into the IPL 2026 auction with a clear declaration: he can feature in only four matches this season. Currently playing for Australia in the 2nd Ashes Test against England in Brisbane, Inglis has registered for the IPL auction with a base price of Rs 2 crore.
Inglis, 30, impressed during his debut IPL season with Punjab Kings (PBKS), helping them reach the final before losing to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). However, he has informed the BCCI and franchises that he will only be available for 25% of the IPL 2026 season. This limited availability is reportedly due to a potential clash with his wedding plans.
PBKS had considered retaining Inglis but decided against it after his announcement. Alongside him, other overseas stars like Ashton Agar, William Sutherland, Adam Milne, and Rilee Rossouw have also indicated restricted participation in the upcoming season.
The IPL 2026 auction promises to be highly competitive, with top players like Sri Lanka pacer Matheesha Pathirana, England all-rounder Liam Livingstone, and Indian talents Venkatesh Iyer and Ravi Bishnoi entering the pool at high base prices. Inglis’s limited participation may affect franchise strategies, especially for teams looking to bolster their overseas lineup.
