Ricky Ponting ready to join Punjab Kings ahead of IPL 2025 – Cricket Blog

Ricky Ponting’s next coaching stint could take him to the Punjab Kings in the IPL, as reports suggest he is close to finalising a multi-year deal with the franchise.

Having parted ways with Delhi Capitals earlier this year after seven successful years, Ponting is set for a fresh challenge with a team that hasn’t reached the IPL playoffs since 2014.

His experience could be crucial in reshaping the Kings’ squad ahead of the 2025 IPL auction, especially with the need for a new captain following Shikhar Dhawan’s retirement.

Ponting has a proven track record, guiding Delhi Capitals to consistent playoff appearances from 2019 onwards, including their first-ever IPL final in 2020. Now, with Punjab Kings, he faces a stiff task in revamping both the team’s structure and leadership.

This move comes after his successful stint as head coach of Washington Freedom in Major League Cricket (MLC), where the team clinched the 2024 title.
