Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting is all set to head to Major League Cricket in the USA. Punter will join the Washington Freedom as the side’s new coach. After signing a two-year deal with the side, Ponting will now succeed Greg Shipperd as the side’s new coach.
Ponting heads to MLC, to coach side
“Cricket is really on the rise in the US,” Ponting said.
“I’ve been impressed by everyone involved at Washington Freedom and, while it’s a bit surreal to be replacing my mate Greg Shipperd, there’s probably no one better to set up a successful franchise.
“I’m ready to build on his work as we look towards the coming season.”
