Punjab Kings have received a massive boost ahead of their upcoming clash against Delhi Capitals on May 24 as four overseas stars are set to join the Shreyas Iyer-led side on Tuesday, May 20. Notably, the Kings were short of foreign talent upon the resumption of the league from May 17 as most of their overseas stars failed to return to India on time.

Nonetheless, Punjab fielded four overseas players against Rajasthan Royals and yet registered a win and with Delhi Capitals' defeat against Gujarat Titans, they managed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in 11 years. Notably, now the race is to finish in top 2 to play the first qualifier. 

Ahead of the crucial match against Delhi Capitals, according to Cricbuzz, Marcus Stoinis, Josh Inglis, Aaron Hardie and Kyle Jamieson will join the camp on Tuesday. Notably,  they are available for selection right away and will feature against Delhi Capitals. It is worth noting that Kyle Jamieson has replaced Lockie Ferguson in PBKS squad as the right-arm seamer has pulled his hamstring mid-tournament.
