Ricky Ponting is disappointed over the clash between the IPL 2025 mega auction and the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He labelled the scheduling as «the worst possible case scenario».
The clash has forced Ponting, former Australian coach Justin Langer and other key personalities like Australia bowling coach Daniel Vettori to prioritise their IPL commitments over the crucial series-opener.
The IPL auction is scheduled for November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It will have Ponting (head coach of Punjab Kings), Langer (coach of Lucknow Super Giants), and Vettori (coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad) absent from significant portions of the Perth Test. Ponting and Langer will do the commentary for Channel 7 on the first day of the first Test before flying to Jeddah.
Ponting expressed his frustration with the timing, which disrupts the preparation and broadcast dynamics for one of cricket's most highly anticipated series. «It's the worst possible case scenario for me and JL (Justin Langer),» Ponting told Sports Today.
