Lockie Ferguson News
Lockie Ferguson returns to action in The Hundred 2025 with Trent Rockets after recovering from multiple injuries. Despite declining a New Zealand central contract, he remains committed to international cricket, eyeing future World Cups while balancing franchise and national duties.
The Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab Kings (PBKS) had a remarkable IPL 2025 season as they reached the final after a decade. However, Punjab Kings lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by six runs in the IPL 2025 final in Ahmedabad on June 3, failing short of the title once again. During their memorable season, some of the PBKS players underperformed and they may not fit the team's long-term strategy. Based on their ordinary performance, PBKS might consider releasing a few players ahead of the next season and address a few shortcomings during the IPL 2026 auction.
Here's list of players whom PBKS might release before the IPL 2026 auction:
Lockie Ferguson, the New Zealand pace bowler and RCB star, recently married Emma Komocki, a British-born physiotherapist with an impressive career in sports medicine. The couple tied the knot on February 2, 2024, at a private ceremony in Waiheke Island, New Zealand. Emma, who moved to New Zealand in 2019, has worked with elite teams like Auckland Hearts, the New Zealand U19s, and Hockey NZ’s Black Sticks. Despite Lockie’s cricket fame, Emma keeps a low profile on social media. Their love story stands out for its privacy, mutual respect, and a strong foundation built on professional passion and emotional support.
