Team India Next Coach: Ricky Ponting refused to become the head coach of the Indian team, know why
Team India's Next Coach: Ricky Ponting has revealed that he was approached for the post of the next head coach of the Indian team, but he declined citing the need to spend more time with his family.
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has revealed that he was approached for the post of the next head coach of the Indian team, but he declined citing the need to spend more time with his family. Let us tell you that Ponting was the head coach of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024, which finished sixth in the points table. He has also been the head of strategy for the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League. Now he will be the head coach of Washington Freedom in the Major League Cricket season in America.
Ricky Ponting said that I have seen a lot of reports about this. Usually, these things come out before you know about them on social media, but during the IPL I had some small face-to-face conversations, just to know if I was ready for it. He said that I would love to coach a national team, but I have other things in my life and I want to spend some time at home.
While the Lucknow Super Giants' IPL 2024 campaign has come to an end, Justin Langer has withdrawn from this race. Ponting stated that he had overheard a conversation about some other names. Stephen Fleming's name was included along with Justin Langer's. In the last few days, Gautam Gambhir's name has also been mentioned a little bit, but I believe I have explained why.
Ponting further said that his son Fletcher responded positively to the prospect of taking over as head coach of the India men's team. My family and my kids have spent the last five weeks with me in the IPL and they come every year I talked to my son about it and he said Dad, join. We would love to go there for the next few years.
