MOHALI: The 2014 Indian Premier League (IPL) runners-up Punjab Kings on Thursday quashed rumours about possible change in captaincy of the side ahead of the next season of the league.

"News reports published by a certain sports news website pertaining to captaincy of the Punjab Kings franchise have been making the rounds in the last few days. We would like to state that no official of the team has issued any statement on the same," said the franchise in its statement.
