Josh Inglis

Joshua Patrick Inglis, born on March 4, 1995, in Leeds, England, is a highly skilled Australian wicket-keeper-batter known for his aggressive style of play. He has represented Australia in all three formats of the game and has even captained the team in ODIs and T20Is. Inglis plays domestic cricket for Western Australia and the Perth Scorchers.

Inglis was part of the Australian teams that won the 2021 T20 World Cup and the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup, although he did not feature in the former. He made his international debut in February 2022 and later made his Test debut in January 2025 against Sri Lanka as a middle-order batter. Notably, he scored a Test century on his debut, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure.

In the IPL 2025 auction, Punjab Kings acquired Inglis for ₹2.6 crore, marking his maiden IPL stint. His inclusion is expected to bolster the team's batting lineup, given his versatility as a '360-degree cricketer' who can bat anywhere in the top six. Inglis recently made headlines with an unbeaten century in the Champions Trophy 2025, further cementing his reputation as an explosive hitter. His addition to the Punjab Kings is seen as a strategic move to enhance their batting depth and firepower.
