Apart from this, he is also seen doing cricket commentary from time to time. However, the two-time World Champion captain has not yet taken a complete decision about coaching the franchise in Major League Cricket and he is still discussing the proposal with the franchise.

Ricky Ponting gave a big statement

Let us tell you that regarding coaching Washington Freedom in Major League Cricket, Ponting said on SEN 1170 – There has been some discussion regarding this. Although I haven’t committed to anything yet, I have had early stage talks. At that time of the year when Major League Cricket starts, I have enough time.

Ponting further said- I have a few weeks before the IPL and immediately after the IPL is the T20 World Cup. Only after this MLC will start. It could potentially be a big year if I want it to be. There are just some things I need to work on. I like coaching. I have enjoyed it in the IPL in the last six-seven years.

Let us tell you that recently Ponting was seen doing cricket commentary in the two-match home test series against the Caribbean team. Now he will be seen coaching Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024. After this, he is going to be seen doing commentary in the T20 World Cup 2024 starting from June 1.

In such a busy time, if Ponting accepts the role of head coach of any franchise in Major League Cricket, then for this he will have to stay away from his home for a long time. Well, it will be interesting to see which team Ponting joins?
