Rickey Ponting, former Australian captain, is keen on returning to coach in the IPL after his recent departure from the Delhi Capitals, citing other commitments and a desire for more family time. Ponting has ruled out international coaching roles, including for England, who are seeking a new white-ball head coach after Matthew Mott's departure. The Delhi Capitals are likely to appoint an Indian coach as they seek more off-season involvement. Additionally, cricket will make a historic return to the Olympics in 2028 in Los Angeles, featuring the T20 format.
