Ex-Australia skipper Ricky Ponting accepts that he's probably played his last limited-overs international but has vowed to continue in the test match arena.
The 37-year-old Ponting held a news conference Tuesday, the morning after he was dropped from Australia's limited-overs squad. A two-time World Cup-winning captain, he was dropped after a string of five consecutive single-digit scores.
He didn't say he'd retired, but said selectors had made it clear he was no longer part of the plans for the ODI squad.
Ponting played the last of his 375 limited-overs internationals on Sunday, scoring 7 from 26 balls as he deputized for injured Michael Clarke as captain in the 110-run win over World Cup champion India at Brisbane.
Ponting won three World Cups, leading Australia to the titles in 2003 and 2007. He scored 13,704 runs at 42.03 in ODIs.
