IPL 2025: Head Coach Ponting Calls Owen ‘exciting Package’ As He Replaces Maxwell In PBKS Squad
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting has lauded new recruit Mitchell Owen as an "exciting package" after the Australian all-rounder was announced as Glenn Maxwell’s replacement for the remainder of the IPL 2025. Ponting, who has kept close tabs on Owen’s development in the Big Bash League, expressed confidence in the 23-year-old’s ability to slot into the Kings’ dynamic setup.
Welcoming Owen to the team, Ponting said, "I think we're all very happy to add Mitchell Owen to our squad for the back end of this season. He's been really impressive in the BBL with the Hobart Hurricanes, someone that I've watched very closely, especially over the last 12 months. Our other assistant coach here, James Hopes, has worked with him at the Hurricanes," Ponting said.
"He's a very exciting player, a very exciting package. He is someone who can bat in lots of different positions in the order and can bowl some very handy medium pace as well, which will be really good for us. I'm really excited to have him as part of the group and looking forward to him getting over here sooner rather than later," he added.
