Didn't Seem Right In The Dugout, Says Alyssa Healy On Ponting’s Exit As DC Coach
Indian Premier League: Australia women's cricket team captain Alyssa Healy reflected on her compatriot Ricky Ponting’s ouster as head coach of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Delhi Capitals, saying that things in the side’s dugout weren’t going right. She added that her observations while travelling in IPL 2024 gave her a feeling that Ponting’s time as DC head coach would come to an end soon, which did happen eventually.
On July 13, Ponting stepped down as head coach, bringing an end to a seven-year association with the franchise, ahead of the mega auction in the run-up to the 2025 season of the tournament.
"Yeah, I did (see it coming), because being over there in India this year, watching it live, from an Indian perspective, it just didn't seem right in the dugout. There was obviously a bit going on, there was tension between the support staff, and maybe the players. Like, Rishabh Pant was in charge and looked quite relaxed, but it just didn't look right," said Alyssa.
