In a surprising turn of events, Australian cricketer Josh Inglis might have secured more IPL appearances than anticipated. Initially penciled in for a mere four matches due to his upcoming marriage, Inglis' trajectory shifted after the Lucknow Super Giants won him over with a lucrative bid at the recent players' auction.

The acquisition has stirred unrest within the BCCI and encited discussions among former team Punjab Kings, who released him due to limited availability. There are questions circulating within IPL circles about whether Inglis has managed to leverage his situation for better opportunities.

Josh Inglis' sudden availability adjustments have prompted calls for the BCCI and IPL Governing Council to closely examine the unfolding situation. Meanwhile, both his new and former teams remain largely silent, as the cricketing world watches closely.
