Ponting retires from T20 Internationals to prolong his test carier

Today we find a Shocking News, Australian Cricket Captain, Ricky Ponting has decided to retire from International Twenty 20 Cricket. But the good News is that he will continue to play Test and ODI Matches.

Cricket Australia revealed he will remain the captain of the Australian Test and one-day team, but will step away from the international T20 scene.

Australia captain Ricky Ponting quit Twenty20 Internationals on Monday, hoping the decision would prolong his career in other formats of the game.

Ponting said he would no more feature in Twenty20 Internationals but would complete his contracts with the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League.

"After much thought and careful consideration I have advised Cricket Australia of my decision to retire from international Twenty20 cricket," Ponting said.

"I have also spoken to (chief selector) Andrew Hilditch, (coach) Tim Nielsen and (vice captain) Michael Clarke and I feel this decision provides me the opportunity to prolong my Australian Test and one-day career, an opportunity I am extremely determined about," he said.

"As I said after the fifth Test in London, I am hoping to continue playing Test cricket for as long as possible and retiring from the Twenty20 format gives me the best chance of doing this.


"I will now have set periods of rest throughout the Australian summer and while touring which I feel will be very beneficial," said Ponting, who returned home after losing the Ashes to England.

Earlier this year, Pakistan captain Younus Khan had also quit Twenty20 Internationals after guiding his team to the World Cup glory.


Dhoni versus Yuvraj

Team India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his deputy Yuvraj Singh will represent different Air India teams in the September 1-8 BCCI Corporate Trophy.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh will be on opposite sides when their respective teams Air India Blue and Air Indian Red take on each other in the finals of Sahara BCCI Corporate Trophy here on Tuesday.

Apart from Dhoni, Air India 'Blue' team will also feature Mohammad Kaif, Harbhajan Singh, R P Singh and VVS Laxman.Pravin Amre was named coach of the side.

With Air India fielding two sides in the 12-team tournament, Yuvraj will play for Air India Red team, while Dhoni will represent Air India Blue.

Yuvraj will have the likes of Robin Uthappa, Suresh Raina, and Irfan Pathan in the Red team, which will be coached by selector Narendra

Both teams reached the title round in similar fashion - Air India Blue beat Tata Sports Club by five wickets and Air India Red defeated Gautam Gambhir-led ONGC by a similar margin.

There is no doubt that Yuvraj's side knows the conditions here better, having played three matches. But with the likes of Chandan Madan and Manvinder Bisla in fine form, Air India Blue are no pushovers, which will make it a keenly-contested day-night match, weather permitting.

Air India Red also have a solid line-up of batsmen with Yuvraj himself being a massive threat to the opposition bowlers.

Robin Uthappa, Suresh Raina and Naman Ojha are proven performers and a lot would be expected of them.

Air India has a slightly better bowling attack with RP Singh and Pankaj Singh leading the pace battery. Feisty off-spinner Harbhajan Singh lends balance to the attack.

Teams (from):

Air India Blue: MS Dhoni (captain), Mohammad Kaif, Dheeraj Jadhav, Vijay Dahiya, Manvinder Bisla, Rajat Bhatia, Harbhajan Singh, Sachin Rana, J Arun Kumar, RP Singh, Pankaj Singh, Shafiq Khan, Chandan Madan, R Sodhi, Sonu Sharma, Praveen Amre, Deepak Joon, Vinit Jain, Monish Sharma, Kuldeep Singh and VVS Laxman.

Air India Red: Yuvraj Singh (captain), Irfan Pathan, Robin Uthappa, Naman Ojha, Sushant Marathe, Paul Valthaty, Suresh Raina, Ankeet Chavan, Siddharth Trivedi, Moondeep Mangela, Dhawal Kulkarni, Rohan Kerkar, Harmeet Singh, Hrishikesh Kanitkar, Ajit Chandila, Narendra Hirwani, Pritam Gandhe, Rohit Prakash and Saurabh Netravalkar.

England cricket team ready to run with Trott

LEEDS, England — England coach Andy Flower insisted the shock call-up of South Africa born batsman Jonathan Trott to the squad for the fourth Ashes Test here at Headingley was not another slight on native players.

Last year the selectors were widely criticised for picking Australia-born Nottinghamshire seamer Darren Pattinson for the Headingley Test match with South Africa.

Pattinson did take two wickets but his selection ahead of Stephen Harmison and Matthew Hoggard caused a storm of protest and he now seems destined to be a 'one-cap wonder', having not played for England since.

England lost that match by 10 wickets on their way to a series defeat that led to Michael Vaughan's resignation as captain.

The uncapped Trott, who played Under 19-cricket for South Africa and a distant relative of Albert Trott, the 19th century cricketer who appeared for both England and Australia, has been drafted in as a potential sixth batsman should Andrew Flintoff's right knee injury rule the all-rounder out.

England, 1-0 up in the five-match series, did not have a spare batsman for the drawn third Test at Trott's Edgbaston home ground where his Warwickshire colleague Ian Bell was chosen after Kevin Pietersen, also born in South Africa, was ruled out of the remainder of the Ashes with an Achilles injury.

But Flower, himself a former Zimbabwe batsman and wicket-keeper, said he had no qualms about picking Trott, qualified for England through his father.

"That does not concern me," Flower said on Tuesday when asked about the 28-year-old Trott's South African links.

"He has already played one or two Twenty20 games for England, he has been on Lions (A) tours, he has been in that Warwickshire dressing room for a long time and it does not worry me."

And he was equally firm in stating that England's bid to regain the Ashes after their 5-0 drubbing in Australia in 2006/07 did not risk being derailed by the hype surrounding Flintoff's injury in what the fans' favourite has said will be his final Test series.
