Ponting pulls out of IPL

Punter pulls out of IPL this year because of his international commitments.Ponting in his column has written that "My country comes first and there was no way I could give my all for Australia if I used the only two-week break we have to go and play in India."

Though Ponting did not perform to the expected level for Kolkata Knight Riders it is going to be a tough ask for them to find a replacement for him.Such is the caliber of Ricky.
