I will be captain in Bangladesh tour: Ponting

The captain of Australian cricket team Ricky Ponting is not ready to withdraw from captaincy even after the criticism on him and has said that he will be captain in the Bangladesh tour, starting from 8th April. The criticism on the captain started in the Ashes series when Australia lost the three Tests in a row against England.

36-year-old Ponting was an important player of Kangaroo side in winning three successive World Cups 1999, 2003 and 2007. In last two mega events, he was leading the team. However after the defeat of his side in two important World Cup matches make hard of him to continue as captain. Kangaroos lost their last group match against Pakistan by four wickets. This defeat ends the unbeaten record of Aussie from 34 matches of World Cup.

After, that on Thursday, Ponting-XI was beaten by India by five wickets in the quarter final at Ahmedabad. This defeat ended the mega event campaign of Australia. Although Ponting scored a century in this match, but as a captain his progress is a question mark.

Ponting said that he don’t think so that with two defeats Australian good regime is over. He further said that I am disappointed but injuries became the major cause of defeats.
