Live Hindi News :- Former Australian cricketer Ricky Ponting has said that the role of the next head coach of the Indian cricket team would not suit his lifestyle.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has started looking for the next head coach of the Indian team. It is reported that the board is serious about appointing a foreign coach this time.
It is reported that the names of CSK coach Stephen Fleming and Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting are being considered for this role.

In this context, Ricky Ponting has shared this with the ICC. “There was a small conversation about it during the IPL season to know about my interest. I also have a desire to play the role of head coach of the national team.”

But there are some things in my life that I have to take care of. This includes my family as well. If the coach of the Indian team cares about his responsibility, then he cannot stay with the IPL team.

Everyone knows this. Similarly, if you are the coach of the national team, then you have to work for 10 or 11 months in a year.

I told my son that the opportunity to coach the Indian team has come. He said he would accept it. He likes Indian culture and cricket very much. Ponting said, but at the moment it does not suit my lifestyle.
