Ricky Ponting

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting on Wednesday admitted that he's held discussions with Cricket Australia to coach the team for the next World T20I tournament, but maintains that no agreement has been reached. It was earlier reported that with Darren Lehmann's contract as coach expiring in 2019, Cricket Australia is in negotiations with Ponting to coach the home team for the event, which is to be played in Australia in 2020. "I've had discussions with Cricket Australia for a long time about getting involved somewhere in some way shape or form," the veteran cricketer said.
