StriKe Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Ricky Ponting, the former Australia captain and one of the greatest batsmen of the modern age, will retire from all cricket in October. The 38-year-old is currently in England playing county cricket for Surrey but he has said that his Champions League T20 campaign with Mumbai Indians, winners of this year's IPL, will be his last competitive outing. 'While I'm enjoying my cricket as much as ever, it just feels like the right time to finish playing," Ponting told the Daily Mail. "My body and mind are in great shape and I know I'm going to really enjoy these last few months before the next stage of life begins." More to follow... Source
zep1706 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 His fitness is extraordinary. At 38 he is as fit as a 25 year old.
Pagalpanti Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Yep never got why he continued with county? He'll be paid more to coach I think.
zep1706 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Yep never got why he continued with county? He'll be paid more to coach I think. Because he loves playing the game? I think he has already made more than enough to last his life in comfort.
