Ricky Ponting made predictions regarding T20 World Cup 2026
Ricky Ponting, while predicting the T20 World Cup 2026, said, ‘I think India will be the favorite in this tournament, because the conditions, talent and their group of players are good. It will be difficult to beat them, but I really think we will see Australia in the semi-finals. There has been a slight change in the Australian team. This is not dramatic, if you look at the team he has selected, there is still a lot of experience in that team. Some people are still injured or are coming back from injury. Perhaps this is his biggest concern right now.
Pat Cummins out of T20 World Cup
Pat Cummins has been ruled out of the T20 World Cup 2026 due to injury, which is a matter of concern for the Australian team. Regarding this, Ponting said, ‘One thing in that team is that there is very good flexibility with so many all-rounders. You look at Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, there are many. Cooper Connolly is a young player who has won the MVP (Most Valuable Player Award) in the BBL (Big Bash League) for the second consecutive year. The team is looking very strong.
