Ponting not in race to be India coach despite being approached

Hindustan Times  

By Amlan Chakraborty Ponting not in race to be India coach despite being approached NEW DELHI, - Australia great Ricky Ponting was sounded out for the India head coach's role but the 49-year-old said he is not in the race to succeed Rahul Dravid in that high-profile job. The India cricket board has advertised the job as Dravid's contract expires at the end of the T20 World Cup next month and the former India captain is reportedly reluctant to carry on. Ponting has been the head coach of the Delhi franchise in the Indian Premier League since 2018 and also filled in as Australia's T20 coach on an interim basis in the past. Ponting said being head coach of a national side would entail being away for 10-11 months a year, which "just doesn't fit into my lifestyle right now".
