Agency :
Punjab Kings (PBKS) appointed Ricky Ponting as the head coach of the franchise ahead of the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Ponting terminated his contract with Delhi Capitals in July after serving the franchise for seven years and signed with Punjab for a multi-year contract as reported by Cricinfo.
Ponting will join Trevor Bayliss, Sanjay Bangar, Charl Langeveldt, and Sunil Joshi in the coaching panel.
Ponting took charge as head coach of Capitals in 2018 and helped the side to make the playoffs for three successive seasons between 2019 and 2021, during which period they qualified for the first IPL final in 2020.
