Michelle Owen joined Punjab Kings ahead of PSL 2025, IPL 2025 resumed

Although he flopped in PSL 2025, Mitchell Owen was BBL’s top scorer in the previous season with 452 runs. He broke the fastest century combined in the final, leading the Hobart storm for his first title.
As Punjab Kings scramble to finalize the squad before the IPL 2025 resumes on 17 May, they got a shot in hand. Australian all-rounder Mitchell Owen has joined PBK, by digging PSL 2025. Owen should have joined PBK after completing its PSL assignment. However, he has decided not to return for the remaining match in favor of IPL.
Owen played 8 matches for Peshawar Zalmi, scoring 102 runs at an average of 14.57. He also took two wickets. While Peshawar is ranked 6th on the PSL points table, they are still in the playoff race. But with Owen PSL pulling out of PSL, it will be a blow to Peshawar’s playoff aspirations. Owen is not the first player to dig PSL for IPL, however. Corbin Bosch became the first player to join Mumbai Indians despite contracting in PSL. He received a 1 -year suspension from PSL to break the contract.
