With Ricky Ponting no longer at the helm, the Delhi Capitals are gearing up for a fresh start as they prepare for the IPL 2025 mega auction. The Rishabh Pant-led franchise is set to hire a new team of scouts to bolster their chances of assembling a winning squad.
In a strategic move reported by News18, the Delhi Capitals are not only eyeing a new scouting team but also hinting at possible changes in their player lineup, including the potential release of Pant.
Overhaul in Scouting for a Title Turnaround
The Capitals have yet to clinch an IPL title, despite reaching the playoffs three consecutive times under Ponting’s guidance. Formerly known as the Delhi Daredevils, the franchise has struggled to secure a championship win in its 17-year history. A revamp of the scouting system is seen as a crucial step towards reversing their fortunes.
As the team prepares for the next mega auction, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has yet to announce the number of player retentions allowed for the ten participating teams, adding another layer of anticipation to the upcoming season.
