Punjab Kings Star Switches State Association over Massive Fallout Post IPL 2026
Shashank Singh said he received an NOC after alleging CSCS failed to support him through injuries and left him out of team plans.
On Monday, batter Shashank Singh announced his transfer to Pondicherry for the 2026-27 domestic cricket season after obtaining a No Objection Certificate from the Chhattisgarh State Cricket Sangh .
Singh alleged the CSCS failed to support him during shoulder and finger injury recovery, later excluding him from the 2026 Chhattisgarh Cricket Premier League without explanation.
The 34-year-old Punjab Kings batter scored 450 runs and took 11 wickets in the 2024-25 Vijay Hazare Trophy, including a 61-run performance in 30 deliveries during the 2025 IPL final.
Following the move, Singh will focus exclusively on white-ball cricket, taking a break from the red-ball format to manage his fitness and rediscover his proficiency after recovering from recent injuries.
His arrival positions Pondicherry to strengthen its squad for the upcoming domestic season, bringing IPL experience from his tenure with Punjab Kings as the new campaign approaches.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) all-rounder Shashank Singh has left his home team, leveling serious allegations against the Chhattisgarh Cricket Association. He will now play for Puducherry from the 2026-27 season.
