Ricky Ponting- Looking to Coach in IPL yet Again, also Reveals Delhi Capital’s Search for Indian In-Charge

After his exit from Delhi Capitals, Ricky Ponting is now looking to take up opportunities to serve as a coach in the Indian Premier League. He revealed that the franchise is most likely about to replace him with a coach who is Indian. Ricky left his role as head coach of Delhi Capitals after seven long years of serving his part, knowing that the lack of silvers resulted in him exiting the IPL side, but he wants to challenge his luck yet again.

“I’d love to coach again in the IPL. I’ve had a great time every year that I’ve been involved, whether that was in the early days as a player or the couple of years I had at Mumbai as head coach there,” said Ricky.

“I’ve had seven seasons at Delhi, which unfortunately didn’t really work out the way that I would have wanted and certainly the way that the franchise would have wanted.” “Me going there was all about trying to bring some silverware to the team and that didn’t happen,” he accepted.

Ricky said how Delhi Capitals might be looking for an Indian as the new coach, who could give more of his time in the off-season as well.

“What you’ll find is that they’ll probably end up with an Indian-based head coach. Certainly that’s some of the dialogue that I’ve had with them anyway,” he said.

“They made it pretty clear that they wanted to head in a different direction with someone that could give them a bit more time and a bit more availability through the off-season.”

“More than anything, to be able to spend a bit more time in India with a lot of the local players. I just couldn’t do that with the other stuff that I’ve got going on.”

“But I’m really thankful for my time that I had there, met some great people, worked with some great people and obviously worked with some great players through the years as well. There could be a few opportunities for me popping up in the next couple of months and I’d love to be back coaching in the IPL again next season,” he said
