Punjab Kings co-owner Ness Wadia has criticized Josh Inglis for his unprofessional behavior in informing the franchise at the last minute about his limited availability for IPL 2026 due to his upcoming wedding. Wadia expressed disappointment at Inglis’ late notice, stating that it was unfair given the player’s history with the team. Despite PBKS’ willingness to retain Inglis, they were forced to release him after he revealed his availability only 45 minutes before the deadline, citing the need for time to relax and recuperate after his wedding.
Wadia emphasized the importance of timely communication in professional sports and expressed his disappointment in Inglis’ handling of the situation. Despite the circumstances, Wadia wished Inglis success in his future endeavors but criticized his lack of professionalism in handling the matter.
Inglis, who was eventually picked up by Lucknow Super Giants for a significant sum in the auction, acknowledged his limited availability due to his wedding in early April. The player’s future participation in the IPL remains uncertain, but his recent actions have raised questions about his commitment and professionalism in the sport.
