Shivam Singh is an up-and-coming cricketer who has displayed immense promise, excelling in both batting and bowling in the domestic cricket. He has not played a single IPL match till date and has not contributed to the teams success yet. Therefore, it is uncertain whether he will be retained in 2024 or not.
- Harpreet Bhatia: Harpreet Bhatia is a left hand batsman, who made his IPL debut in 2010. However, his performances have been inconsistent, and he has struggled to make a significant impact. He has played 3 matches in 2023 edition scoring 77 runs only.Depending on his form and contribution leading up to 2024, there is a possibility that the team might consider releasing him.
- Vidwath Kaverappa: Vidwath Kaverappa is a fast bowler from Karnataka in the Punjab Kings squad. He has some great records in the domestic cricket. Given his innate talent and untapped potential, Shivam Singh has the capability to become a valuable asset for the Punjab Kings’ bowling line up but unfortunately he could not make his debut yet which makes his place in doubt for the next season of IPL.
- Raj Angad Bawa: Raj Angad Bawa is an all rounder in the Punjab Kings squad who made his IPL debut in 2022. Angad has some really good stats in domestic cricket. In IPL he has played only 2 matches that was in 2022 where he failed to impressed both with the bat and ball. In 2023 he has not played a single match which makes his place dicey in Punjab Kings squad for 2024 IPL.

However, it remains to be seen which players the franchise ultimately decides to release and how they plan to strengthen their team for the next IPL campaign.
