Ellis attracted a lot of IPL franchises after he became the first male player to secure a T20 hat-trick on his debut against Bangladesh this month.
Punjab Kings took to Twitter to confirm the signing on Friday. “We were not aware of the fitness status of Jhye and Riley until yesterday,” the PBKS team’s CEO Satish Menon was quoted as saying to Cricbuzz.
“We have signed Ellis as a replacement player. We will announce the second replacement in a day or two,” the franchise CEO added.
“We are in talks with a few players. Anil (Kumble, the head coach) will finalise one soon.”
