Ricky Ponting has stepped down as Australia's captain in Tests and ODIs following their quarter-final exit from the World Cup but will be available for selection as a batsman in both formats. Ponting made the announcement at the SCG on Tuesday, and backed Michael Clarke to take over the leadership of the team. He played 9 years as a captain for Australia team.
Ponting said the World Cup exit had prompted his decision and that "no one has tapped me on the shoulder asking me to go."
