Ponting in talks to coach Washington Freedom in Major League Cricket

Ricky Ponting could become the biggest signing coup in Major League Cricket's short history after confirming he is in talks to coach the Washington Freedom.

The amazing previous Australian chief is choosing if he can focus on both the US-based MLC contest and critique obligations at the T20 World Cup, to be held in North America and the Caribbean in June.

The second version of MLC will start just a short time after the T20 World Cup last is played in Barbados on June 30.

Ponting would be the most prominent marking with MLC, a six-group rivalry that appeared last year and has gotten monetary sponsorship from IPL sides.

"We're not there yet, I haven't focused on anything presently, however I've had a few starting conversations [with Washington]," Ponting told SEN. "The season kind of fits in acceptable for me, however I have a truly chaotic slow time of year once more. At the point when I say slow time of year, there's no such thing as a slow time of year for cricketers any longer."

Ponting will mentor IPL side the Delhi Capitals for a 6th continuous year from the following month in front of his likely contributions with MLC and the World Cup.

An exceptionally evaluated savant for Channel 7, Ponting isn't yet secured to commentate the T20 World Cup. The World Cup will be the main transmission in Australia on web-based feature Amazon Prime, which procured restrictive privileges to ICC occasions until 2027 in a milestone bargain struck a year ago.

"It's possibly one more huge year of time away assuming I need it, so there are things I must manage," Ponting said. "Assuming I'm really going to commentate the T20 World Cup or not and in the event that I'm not doing that, where does MLC fit ready?"

Ponting recently trained the Mumbai Indians and has stirred in the Australian set-up, generally as of late as an aide to previous lead trainer Justin Langer.

"I love the training side of it," Ponting said. "I love working with the best players on the planet and attempting to figure out how to improve them, and dominating some matches en route."

Under the direction of Sydney Sixers mentor Greg Shipperd, Washington completed third on the stepping stool in the primary MLC, yet were wiped out by possible heroes MI New York in the end of the season games.

Ponting's previous Australian partner Shane Watson was mentor of the San Francisco Unicorns last season, while Aaron Finch, Dwayne Bravo, Rashid Khan and Quinton de Kock were among headliners included.
