Aussie former Cricketer Ricky Ponting has shared his excitement for the upcoming India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 match in New York.
In the latest episode of “The ICC Review” with host Sanjana Ganesan, Legendary Aussie batter Ricky Ponting shared his anecdote about the India-Pakistan match T20 World Cup 2022 in MCG Australia.
Ponting said, “ I’ve seen it firsthand here in Australia, in Melbourne last time around, where there were 95,000 people in the stadium and another 50,000 people outside the stadium.”
Ricky Ponting who recently signed as coach of Washington Freedom in Major League Cricket, is expecting a similar scenario in the upcoming India vs Pakistan clash on 9 June in Long Islands, New York.
Ponting continued, “You can imagine what it’s going to be like in New York. So, really exciting times for the world game.”
Ricky Ponting is looking forward to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 as cricket has been growing in other parts of the world in recent years.
Ponting added, “I think there’s a great opportunity to continue to grow and promote the game in that part of the world. And that’s a big part of the reason that I took the coaching job at Washington Freedom, to be a part of that sort of movement to grow the game in the US.”
For the first time, the T20 World Cup is co-hosted by the West Indies and the USA and all eyes as well as Ricky Ponting will be on this year’s biggest cricket event.
