Punjab Kings announced the replacement of Glenn Maxwell: PSL 2025 Peshawar Jalmi player now in IPL.

Punjab Kings i.e. PBKS have announced the replacement of injured Glenn Maxwell. The Australian all -rounder has been eliminated from IPL 2025 due to finger injury. Now Punjab Kings have chosen all -rounder Mitchell Owen in place of Glenn Maxwell. Mitchell Owen has not yet made her debut for Australia. He is an unkapted overswear player. Punjab Kings have announced this replacement before the match against Lucknow Super Giants in Dharamshala. Punjab Kings looked good this season and the team has won 6 out of 10 matches. One match was inconclusive. In this way, the team has 13 points in the account.

Let me tell you, Mitchell Owen was still playing for Peshawar Jalmi in the Pakistan Super League. Peshawar is the team of Jalmi Babar Azam. However, now this dhakad batsman can be seen playing for Punjab Kings in IPL 2025.

Owen has played 34 T20 matches. It has scored 646 runs at an average of 25.84 and a strike rate of 184.57, remaining unbeaten 5 times in 30 innings. He has 2 centuries out of his bat and his best score was 108 runs.

In the Big Bash League (BBL), Owen has scored an average of 33.18 in 21 innings of 24 matches and 531 runs at a strike rate of 184.37. He also has 10 wickets in T20 cricket. Owell made Hobart Herricanes champions while playing a century in the final match of Big Bash League. He scored 108 runs off 42 balls while playing at a strike rate of 257 runs. In this league, Owen appeared playing as an opener. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see which batting position Punjab uses them.
