Ponting Eyes IPL Return, Rules Out International Roles

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.
