Ricky Ponting clarifies on rumors
Ricky Ponting is in talks with ECB for the role of head coach, as ECB is in the hunt for a new head coach for England’s white-ball format Ricky Ponting is such a figure who can fit in the role of head coach, and his coaching with Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals have proved that why he deserves to be a head coach. While speaking on a podcast Ricky Ponting clarified all the rumors and he said:
“No, I wouldn’t ever consider doing that. I’m on record saying that international jobs for me right now are not really where my life is at as there’s just so much more time taken up with an international job. I’ve got other commitments as well, with my TV work and things that I do and also trying to balance that out with having a decent amount of home time, which I haven’t had much of the last couple of years anyway.”
“Coaching other international teams is one thing, coaching England for an Australian is probably something slightly different, but right now there’s sort of enough on my plate as I’ve got a bit more coming up in the next couple of months in the UK. Australia’s got some white-ball stuff coming up over there which I’ll go and commentate, so no, right now if my name was on the list they can take it off.”
England’s next white-ball assignment is against Australia in September.
