Cricket legend Ricky Ponting to join Australia coaching staff
Australia great Ricky Ponting will join the backroom staff of head coach Justin Langer during the team’s tour of England. Former Australia captain Ponting, one of the outstanding batsmen of his generation, was already due to be in Britain to commentate on the five-match one-day international series against 2019 World Cup hosts England that starts on June 13 and a subsequent Twenty20 international.
But Wednesday’s announcement by Cricket Australia will see Ponting joining forces with Langer, an old team-mate, again after the pair coached Australia’s Twenty20 team against Sri Lanka on home soil in 2017.
