Ricky Ponting Hints at IPL 2025 Comeback, Says Opportunities to Arrive Soon

While speaking on the Sky Sports podcast with Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain, Ricky Ponting opened up on his run as the coach. He expressed his time in Major League Cricket when he coached the Washington Freedom franchise. While the former Australian cricketer does not intend to take up an international role, he sparked an interest upon his return to the IPL for the 2025 season. Ponting expressed that he might have a few opportunities in the coming weeks.

"An international role is not where I am right now. The last two years have been a lot busier than I wanted. This year I have coached in the MLC as well, which was a lot of fun. I'll continue to do that. That was just three and a half weeks.

"I finished up with DC as well so there might be a few other opportunities coming in the IPL in the next few week. We'll see," Ricky Ponting revealed.
