Ponting joins Australia鈥檚 T20 interim coaching team

FORMER captain Ricky Ponting has become the third ex-international to take on an interim coaching role with the Australian Twenty20 team next month.

Ponting will join fellow assistant Jason Gillespie and Justin Langer (head coach) for the Twenty20 series against Sri Lanka. All three have been appointed because regular head coach Darren Lehmann and his assistant David Saker will be in India preparing the test squad for the four-match series. “I always said when I retired that I wanted to get back involved and what better way to do it than alongside a couple of my best mates in cricket, Justin Langer and Jason Gillespie,” Ponting said in a statement yesterday. “We have some incredible Twenty20 talent in this country and I cant wait to work with JL, Dizzy and those selected to have a real crack at doing (something) special for Australia’s Twenty20 international ambitions.”
