Sydney, July 19:
Ricky Ponting could break Steve Waugh’s record as Australia’s most-capped Test cricketer in front of his home fans at Hobart after the international summer schedule was announced today.
If the veteran batsman plays all three Tests against South Africa in November, he will be on track to create Australian cricket history in his home state of Tasmania in the first match of a three-Test series against Sri Lanka.
South Africa, Sri Lanka and the West Indies will play Down Under in the coming Australian summer, with the Gabba in Brisbane hosting its first Test against the Proteas in 49 years in the opening game on November 9. (PTI)
