Ponting, the head coach of Delhi Capitals, has watched Pant from close quarters during the Indian Premier League (IPL). "Yeah, (they are) little bit the same. I know Rishabh's really burst onto the scene, but let's just let him play his 50-60 Test matches first before we start making comparisons to one of the all-time great wicket-keeper batters," Ponting said on The ICC Review.
Australia Test captain Pat Cummins has said the players never had an issue with recently departed head coach Justin Langer's «intensity», but believes the team would benefit from a «more collaborative» approach.
Ian Chappell has called the past players supporting Justin Langer as his "PR machine" and threw his weight behind skipper Pat Cummins, who had received flak for not backing the former coach in the lead-up to his resignation. Former cricketers such as Ricky Ponting, Matthew Hayden, Mitchell Johnson, Adam Gilchrist and Shane Warne have slammed Cricket Australia and the members of the national team, especially Cummins, for not publicly supporting Langer, who was offered a short-term extension which he declined. "It's easy to lambast Cricket Australia, because they are not very good, and it was only to be expected, their reaction," Chappell told the Wide World of Sports this week.
Jason Gillespie on Tuesday said he is not interested in the top job and described Justin Langer's departure as "heartbreaking". Langer, under whose guidance Australia won the T20 World Cup and the Ashes series 4-0, stepped down last Saturday after facing complaints from players about his coaching style for months. Gillespie, who is South Australia's coach and also has the experience of guiding English county sides Sussex and Yorkshire, was touted as a potential replacement for Langer alongwith Trevor Bayliss, Ricky Ponting, Greg Shipperd and Michael Di Venuto.

Former Test captain Michael Clarke has urged Pat Cummins to tell the truth - even if it's ugly - about the demise of Justin Langer as national coach.
Ollie Pope has insisted that England captain Joe Root has 'the backing of every single player', despite widespread criticism of his leadership following the Ashes.
