Ponting named Delhi Daredevils IPL coach

Ricky Ponting has been appointed coach of the Delhi Daredevils for the 2018 IPL season.

IPL side Delhi Daredevils have announced former Australia Test captain Ricky Ponting as their coach for the 2018 season.

Ponting previously coached the Mumbai Indians to the 2015 title during a two-year stint and replaces South African coach Paddy Upton who oversaw a disappointing 2017 campaign.

The news was confirmed via the Daredevils Twitter feed.

The IPL have also revealed the list of players who have been retained by their clubs ahead of the official auction later this month.

Test skipper Steve Smith (Rising Pune Supergiant) and David Warner (Hyderabad Sunrisers) are the two Australian players on the list.
