JOHANNESBURG, Sept 7: Australia captain Ricky Ponting is to join his team-mates in South Africa for the Twenty20 World Championship next week after his wife recovered from a health scare.
The skipper’s participation in the inaugural International Cricket Council (ICC) event was in doubt after he stayed behind in Australia while the party left for the tournament on Monday.
He told reporters in Sydney on Friday that his decision had been due to his wife’s health, which was now improving, and he would travel to South Africa in time for the ICC’s annual awards dinner in Johannesburg on Monday.—Reuters
