Mumbai: In a big boost to them, the Punjab Kings ' (PBKS) overseas quartet of Marcus Stoinis , Josh Inglis , Aaron Hardie and Kyle Jamieson all joined the team in Jaipur on Tuesday after arriving in India.

All four will be available for selection for PBKS' penultimate IPL 2025 fixture against Delhi Capitals on Saturday (May 24), as they look to book a top-two finish. This is the first time PBKS have earned a playoff spot since IPL 2014.

Both Stoinis (82 runs in seven innings) and Inglis (92 runs in six innings) haven't been at their best this season.

Seam-bowling all-rounder Hardie is yet to feature this season and was picked for Rs 1.25 crore at the auction. Jamieson has replaced his injured fellow New Zealand seamer Lockie Ferguson. Either of them, though, could play in the playoffs, once South African allrounder Marco Jansen leaves for his international commitment in the World Test Championship (WTC) final.

PBKS' other overseas players are Azmatullah Omarzai, Xavier Bartlett and Mitch Owen. After their game against DC, PBKS play their final league stage match against Mumbai Indians (May 26).
