Ponting, though, added that captaincy will be the “hardest thing” for the premier fast bowler. “Yeah, that [captaincy] is probably the hardest thing for him,” Ponting said of Bumrah during the ICC Review podcast.


“Guys like that tend to thrive on the extra pressure and the responsibility. He’s been the leader of the attack for a long time. Whether that’s red ball, T20 or ODIs, he’s the main man,” he said.
